I've gotten several responses to my question about writing a .twmrc that
can be used in both R3 and R4. The concensus is to have separate .twmrc's,
and make use of R4 twm's -f option, which allows specification of the
pathname of the .twmrc. Another suggestion was to name the R4 .twmrc to
.twmrc.0, since R4 twm looks for .twmrc.<display#> first. I was hoping for
a solution that didn't require maintenance of parallel files, but I guess
there isn't one.
Now my other question: why? Why was twm changed incompatibly in this
manner?
