+[Zulip](https://zulipchat.com/zephyr) ([source code](https://github.com/zulip/zulip)) is a web-based Zephyr client that also provides [mobile apps](https://zephyr.zulipchat.com/apps) for Android and iOS and desktop apps for Linux, Mac, and Windows. Zulip was originally a proprietary product developed by a company composed largely of MIT alums and SIPB members. It was acquired by [Dropbox](https://www.dropbox.com/about) in 2014, and [released as open-source software](https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/2015/09/open-sourcing-zulip-a-dropbox-hack-week-project/) a year later. The Zulip for Zephyr service is offered by [Tim Abbott](http://web.mit.edu/tabbott/www/) (MIT '06, SIPB member)'s Kandra Labs.

It is possible to `zwrite` to multiple individuals at once, by listing the
usernames separated by spaces:
- :zwrite USERONE USERTWO USERTHREE
+ :zwrite -C USERONE USERTWO USERTHREE
-When doing this, it is customary to include the line `CC: USERONE USERTWO
-USERTHREE` in the body of the zephyr, although this is not required or
