[comp.windows.x] default.uwmrc

PJS@GROUCH.JPL.NASA.GOV (Peter Scott) (08/30/89)

According to O'Reilly volume 3, uwm gets its default bindings out of
/usr/lib/X11/uwm/default.uwmrc.  When we built X11, no such directory
or file was created.  Instead a file was created in
/usr/X.V11R3/core.src/clients/uwm/Bindings.c that contains the contents
of default.uwmrc in C source form, to be linked into uwm when it is
compiled.

Do we have the wrong distribution?  If not, why are the bindings hard-coded
into the program?  This seems quite contrary to the spirit of X.  It's
not as if uwm was a contributed program from a non-accredited source
