Two questions...

1)  Is it possible to use X to read an X resource files without 
    being connected to a server?  If it is possible, how would 
    I do it??  I am currently using r3 & Motif 1.0.  If it makes
    a difference, can r4 or r5 do such stuff .. but not r3??

2)  If I open a display, then fork I presume both processes are
    sharing a connection to the server.  If one process only 
    wishes to read X resource files is there any problem with
    not explicitly synchronizing the processes?  Or does any 
    database operation require server contact?

thx, g
