xutils.sh in open sourced CDE?

reno_rita

I am reading a book about dtksh. The first "hello world" example begins as follows: #!/usr/local/dt/bin/dtksh . $UTILDIR/xutil.sh XUinitialize TOPLEVEL Hello "$@" XUlabel LABEL $TOPLEVEL labelString:"hello, world" XUrelize $TOPLEVEL XUmainloop Is the file xutil.sh available in current open sourced CDE in FreeBSD? I can not locate it.

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

You are assuming that xutil.sh is a part of CDE or FreeBSD. I think it is not. But for that script you show to work you are sourcing xutil.sh from $UTILDIR . Have you set that environment variable yourself? Have you looked at the location it is set to? Have you actually read the book? Because I am guessing that you are reading: "Desktop KornShell Graphical Programming in the Common Desktop Environment" By J. Stephen Pendergrast, Jr. Published by Addison-Wesley Publishing Company ISBN 0-201-63375-X This does contain references to a xutil.sh script which has been published with the book. I would be very surprised if the book did not describe how to obtain the source of xutil.sh . Maybe it was...
