The Graphics Resource Manager is used by the X server and Starbase programs
to share resources such as shared memory and offscreen frame buffer space.
It is internal to the server and Starbase libraries; there is no manual
entry for the GRM functions.  The GRM and other details of the X/Starbase
shared access implementation are discussed in the December 89 issue of
HP Journal.  You may be able to find it in you campus library.
