Jon this whole situation with Solaris having it's own code base which goes back to 1.x. I'm curious if that is why there are a lot of tools and utils (mostly ones starting with "sd") which aren't part of the open source version?
Ie.. they must have made those tools specifically for their version of CDE and thus they never saw the "light of day" since Solaris never open sourced their CDE.
Also, what was the deal back in the OpenSolaris days before Oracle killed it? Did that codebase have CDE? I also wonder about Illumos. Do they still have a CDE codebase, too? I'm guessing Sun just didn't release it with the rest of the code.
Not that it really matters. I'm just asking for the sake of trivia and posterity. However, I would like to motivate myself enough to take on writing one or two replacements for some of the cooler tools from Sun's CDE. However, lately I've been just stuck doing MOTIF tutorials on my SGI IRIX systems under Indigo Magic / 4DWM. It might not be CDE, but it's a kissing cousin in my opinion.
I also wanted to congratulate you and the team on the new release. -S _______________________________________________ cdesktopenv-devel mailing list cdesktopenv-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cdesktopenv-devel
