When you start up Fire using the command $MXSYS/bin/fire it sets up your Xwindows environment using the following files in the order given: $MXHOME/system/xserver/default/Fire $MXHOME/system/xserver/your_platform/Fire $MXSITE/Fire Hence if you want to configure any values specifically for your site then you should copy $MXHOME/system/xserver/your_platform/Fire into the $MXSITE directory. Then configure that file, since it is the last file read then any values in this file will override values found in the earlier files. Xmarc uses the command xrdb -merge ./Fire to merge these values into your X-windows environment. If you want to modify the way the merging is done (i.e: to restrict color usage) then you should look at the help for the xrdb command. I can’t give you the specific system command to do so but this is the best place to start looking.
