I recently switched from using M.I.T.'s X11R3 on a SUN to using DEC Windows on a VMS VAXstation 3100. Can someone please answer these few questions about VMS DECWindows? 1. Where and in what order does the DECWindows Resource Manager load default files? I get the impression that users/programmers aren't supposed to be aware of such things. For example, on a UNIX system, the Resource Manager looks in the following places in the following order: 1. file /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/<class> 2. file $XAppresdir/<class> 3. data in RESOURCE_MANAGER property 4. if #3 doesn't exist, load $HOME/.Xdefaults 5. file specified by $XENVIRONMENT 6. if #5 is not set, load $HOME/.Xdefaults-<host> 7. command-line options What is the VMS DECWindows equivalent to the above? 2. In what directory are the color names kept? There must be some logical associated with a directory, but I can't find it. 3. Lastly, I notice that the default resource files for DEC products begin with DECW$. If I create a default resource file for my application "foo", is there a standard name I should give it? Thank you, carol chapman ***************************************************************************** Carol Chapman Tel. (415) 423-7876 Livermore National Laboratory chapman@lll-crg.llnl.gov P. O.
