[comp.windows.x] Xrm Questions

	Hi,

	I am working on an application that will attempt to display
	X information on a video terminal, as opposed to a workstation.
	We are keeping the resources and structures the same, but will
	will display windows through a video terminal screen management
	package.
	
	We would like to keep the Xrm as is, rather than writing a 
	resource manager to do the same thing on the video terminal.
	A few questions arise:

	1) Do we need to have an X server running to use the Xrm?

	2) There is an XrmInitialize(); routine - does XtInitialize
	have to be called first?  I doubt it, but if so, then we
	could not call it - since we will be working on systems w/out
	an X server.

	If you know of other constraints that I may have overlooked,
	please feel free to inform me.

	Also, there has been mention of some work with X on a video
	terminal.  I am very interested in anyone's adventures.

	I'm not on the distribution list yet, so please, if you could,
	send me mail.

	Thanks.

No. Xrm runs on the client side and can be used without an X connection.

	2) There is an XrmInitialize(); routine - does XtInitialize
	have to be called first?  I doubt it, but if so, then we
	could not call it - since we will be working on systems w/out
	an X server.

XtInitialize is not needed to use the resource manager. XrmInitialize
can be called directly,
