Features Exclusive to Solaris CDE

This section briefly describes the features of the Solaris CDE development environment that do not appear in the OpenWindows environment in any analogous form.

• Desktop Korn shell: Provides a way to engage in graphic user interaction through shell scripts. See Common Desktop Environment: Desktop KornShell User's Guide for detailed information on desktop Kornshell.

• Workspace Manager: Provides support for multiple workspaces. Each workspace is a virtual screen. Most desktop applications can run as expected without knowledge of the Workspace Manager. See Common Desktop Environment: Programmer's Overview and Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Programmer's Guide for more information on the Workspace Manager.
