I got wierd tabbing in the "headers" of my zephyrgrams during this
current login. I was going to cut and paste a number of examples for
you, but the blank space at the start of each line doesn't get picked
up when doing that. I don't see any pattern to the variations in
spacing; not according to authenticity, sender, or instance. There
was even one pair of messages from rlcarr over -i help, both of them
authentic, which had different spacing. My .zephyr.desc and
.zephyr.vars files are world-readable, if it will help you to look at
them.
the "wierd tabbing" is probably that some of the lines in the zephyr
messages are centered in the zephyrgram in 7.2.
Your .zephyr.desc file, incidentally, isn't going to have any effect
at all, because zwgc has been using .zwgc.desc instead of .zephyr.desc
for at least two releases now.
In any case, if what you are observing is *not* centered header lines,
please get a window dump of one of the screwed up messages and save it
into bitbucket ("xwd > /mit/bitbucket/zwgc.dmp" or something like
that) and let us know where it is, and we'll take a look.
