Re: [Bug-XBoard] X option '-name' not recognized by version 4.7.2

[h . g . muller]

This should be considered an error in the documentation. Since version 4.5
XBoard no longer processes its options via the X-server, but uses its own
settings file. As a consequence, none of the Xt options can be used
anymore, (other than through .xresources), while none of the other options
can be set through .xresources.

So this section of the manual should simple be deleted.

4.7 should not behave any different from its latest predecessors, in this
respect.
