Hah. Good thing that I kept my Desktop KornShell Graphical Programming by 
Steven Pendergrast. ;-)

He went with Unix System Labs to Novell, and I believe he left shortly after 
completing the book.
(And the dtksh project was never really completed.  The version of ksh93 it was 
based on was buggy
 and the project did not/could not track further updates after the split).

His book taught me more about the X programming model than any of the original 
X Window System documentation. ;-)

Interestingly, CDE was supposed to reconcile the differences in Unix desktop 
programming.  When it was announced I worked for Sun Microsystems, and I had 
already made Mosaic available to all desktops in Europe.

That ends the history lesson for today...
Cheers,
Henk
