Zephyr Instances Zephyr is Athena's text based communication systems, for sending instant zephyrgrams among users who are logged onto athena.
Instances are like mailing lists for zephyrs.
You can send a zephyr to an instance, and everyone subscribed to that instance will get your message. This is helpful for group zephyr discussions and specially with getting help in classes with other people in the course such as instructors, UA's, and other students who are are logged on and are on the instance. Another important thing is unsubscribing to instances. For example, if you want to use z2670 as an alias, open your .cshrc.mine file from your home directory. Now all you have to do to zwrite the instance is type z2670 .
