[comp.windows.x] .twmrc with both common and private parts ?

sinkwitz@gorgo.ifi.unizh.ch (Rainer Sinkwitz) (08/22/90)

In our system we have resource files for twm than can be either 
   a) common ( in /usr/lib/X11/twm/system.twmrc) 
      or
   b) private ( in $HOME/.twmrc ) .

The X11 administrator changes the applications menu whenever new
applications are built. I got my own .twmrc in my home directory 
and want to get automatic updates in this menu. What would be a good
idea to do this, e.g.:

   a) use cpp and include a line "#include <public.menu>"
   b) use cat and do a "cat private1 public.menu private2 >! .twmrc"
   c) ...

I 'd like to hear your opinions about this and whether you would like
such a thing for you.

Please answer by e-mail
