XrmDatabase database;
ARGUMENTS
Specifies the buffer into which the error message is to be returned. Specifies the resource class of the error message. Specifies the
name of the alternative database that is to be used or NULL if the application's database is to be used. Specifies the default message to
use. Specifies the name and type that are concatenated to form the resource name of the error message. Specifies the size of the buffer
in bytes.
DESCRIPTION
The XtGetErrorDatabase function has been superceded by XtAppGetErrorDatabase.

Name
XtGetErrorDatabaseText - get the text of a named message from the error database.
Synopsis
void XtGetErrorDatabaseText(name, type, class, default, buffer_return, nbytes)
String name, type, class;
String default;
String buffer_return;
int nbytes;
Inputs
name Specifies the name or general kind of the message.
type Specifies the type or detailed name of the message.
class Specifies the resource class of the error message.
default Specifies the default message to use if an error database entry is not found.
nbytes Specifies the size of buffer_return in bytes.
Outputs
buffer_return
Specifies the buffer into which the error message is to be returned.
Availability
XtGetErrorDatabaseText() has been superseded by XtAppGetErrorDatabaseText().
Description
XtGetErrorDatabaseText() looks up the message named by name, type, and class in the database returned by XtGetErrorDatabase(). If such a
message is found, it is stored into buffer_return, otherwise the message in default is stored into buffer_return.
The resource name of the message is formed by concatenating name and type with a single "." between them. The resource class of the mes-
sage is class if it already contains a ".", or otherwise is formed by concatenating class with itself with a single "." between the
strings.
Usage
XtGetErrorDatabaseText() has been superseded by XtAppGetErrorDatabaseText(), which performs the same function on a per-application context
basis. XtGetErrorDatabaseText() now calls XtAppGetErrorDatabaseText() passing the default application context created by XtInitialize().
Very few programs need multiple application contexts, and you can continue to use XtGetErrorDatabaseText() if you initialize your applica-
tion with XtInitialize(). We recommend, however, that you use XtAppInitialize(), XtAppGetErrorDatabaseText(), and the other XtApp*()
application context specific functions.
See XtAppGetErrorDatabaseText() for more information.

Hi Folks,
Today hasn't been the best one of my career in IT.
I've been a contractor for a major utility company for a number of years, on a number of seperate IT contracts mostly Unix. The company had 10 different flavours of unix and multiple different varsions of most of them.
