How Resources Are Read


At start-up, resources are read from a number of files in the standard way for Xt applications. There are a number of environment variables that control the way the program looks for resource files:

When the TTCN Suite is started, none of the environment variables above need to be set. The TTCN Suite will automatically find the resource file under the default name $telelogic/itex/X11lib/app-defaults/Itex.

To override some of the resources in the global resource file there are several possibilities:

The easiest way to set some personal resources is to create a file
.Xdefaults in the home directory and add these resources to it.

For a more detailed description of how resources are found in an Xt based application see some suitable book on the subject, for example the X Toolkit Intrinsics Programming Manual from O'Reilly & Associates.
