[comp.emacs] Emacs failing to work with xrdb

rms@AI.MIT.EDU (Richard Stallman) (02/03/91)

If Emacs fails to understand your .Xdefaults, 
try getting 18.57 and compiling with XBACKWARDS defined.
This compensates for a bug in XGetDefault.
(The actual definition of that function does not accord with what it says
in the header file and the documentation.)
