Perhaps I didn't make myself clear in the release meetings... What I want is
the following:
1. a single line warning message rather than a six-line message that does
not make sense to most of our user community
2. no beeps in the message
3. consider the possibilty of having the default behavior be to start zwgc
no matter whether the user is in tty or X mode and then the messages
can be punted all together or changed to indicate what mode was
started on the user's behalf
Thanks,
Peter

When runing /usr/etc/zwgc from a non x-terminal, I'm still getting the
following messages:
athena% /usr/etc/zwgc
zwgc: Unable to open X display -- disabling X driver.
zwgc: There is no X display available, so zwgc cannot run.
THIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY ZEPHYR MESSAGES.
If you wish to receive Zephyr messages, you should start zwgc
with the -ttymode option (type `/usr/etc/zwgc -ttymode').
Read the zwgc(1) manual page for details on the fallback variable.
I thought these were going to be made more 'user-friendly' and have
no beeps in 7.2 ...
Thanks,
Peter
/usr/etc/zwgc -ttymode no longer prints the warning about being unable
to open the X display.
The last Release 7.2 meeting, beeps were discussed, and the consensus
was to have a maximum of one beep per message.
