3311.0. "Resource Database Files" by MLNOIS::CAPERDONI (Head over Heels!) Thu Sep 06 1990 12:50

    Hi DECwindows people.
    There's a question for you.
    
    Where is it possible to find ALL the resource names that I can use in
    one of the bundled application's resource files (for example,
    DECW$CLOCK.DAT, DECW$BOOKREADER.DAT, and so on)?
    And if there are no manuals that can help me, according to what
    criterion have I to proceed? That is, which attributes are available
    for any application?
    
    Thanks in advance.

    The VMS position is that modification of these files is undocumented
    and unsupported.  This position is taken due to possible obscure
    support problems.
    
    The resource names are documented in Ultrix.

    In which Ultrix manual may I find the available resource names?
    Thanks

    Supported resources are documented in the Ultrix on-line manual pages.
    You can find others in the app-defaults files, but if they are not
    documented, they are subject to change from release to release.
