This book is an amazingly successful compilation of information about Desktop Ksh programming. The explanations in the book are so easy to follow that it leads one to think X-Windows programming is easy (although it is not).
I have downloaded the X utilities source code written by Steve and it has worked perfectly on a IBM AIX CDE platform. There is not a single paragraph in the whole book that does not give you useful programming info. The chapter on Korn shell reference is a valuable treasure all by itself! Using X-Windows widgets couldn't be made simpler.

This volume is head and shoulders above the documentation that comes with CDE on the desktop kornshell. It gives many instructive examples with great tips and tricks that are useful for many types of motif programming. The source code, available from the addison wesley site via ftp, is invaluable and gives you a starting point for many useful programs. (Another review said the source is not available on-line, this is false. Go to http://www.awl.com/cseng/ and click on "source code", then click on the desktop kornshell book title. It couldn't be much easier).

Great informative book. Wonderful source to obtain the book. Excellent condition and fast shipping. Thanks!

I want to buy this book. Is there any one who wants to sell this book? garedia@hotmail.com

This book does not provide a clear step by step teaching guide. Too much talk in between code analysis that loses the prior discussion, not a goo tie-it-together approach. Cannot even obtain the examples by FTP which without, you cannot do ANY of this type of programming.
