Users can view incoming Zephyr messages as windowgrams +(transient X windows) or as text on a terminal. Zephyr can optionally +make use of the Kerberos version 4 security library or the Hesiod +service name resolution library. + +Please note that Zephyr version 2.0 is not compatible with previous +versions of Zephyr, in two important ways. First, the inter-server +brain dump protocol has changed, so a version 2.0 Zephyr server and an +older Zephyr server will not be able to brain dump to each other. +Second, Zephyr clients built from sources earlier than the January 3, +1995 snapshot will not be able to send authentic notices through +version 2.0 Zephyr servers. + +Comments, suggestions, bug reports, or patches should go to +bug-zephyr@mit.edu. + +To find out how to configure, build, and install Zephyr, read the file +INSTALL. + +To find out how to operate a Zephyr service, read the file OPERATING. + +To find out how to use an existing Zephyr service, read the file +USING. + +Please read the file NOTES before making any modifications to the +source tree. + +LaTeX files for the Zephyr API are located on doc/progman. These +documents may serve as a useful reference, but they have not been +under recent maintenance, so they might have become somewhat out of +date. + +--Greg Hudson +ghudson@mit.edu + |
