.Xdefaults vs. .Xresources

[Christopher Ray Martin <crmartin@ee.tamu.edu>]

I am a little confused as to the difference between these two files. It
seems that they are basically the same, or at least they contain the same
type of information. 

Which is preferrable to use? Can I use one, and then "source" it from the
other file (for programs which may use the other one)?

Thanks, Chris
