dtksh

[Muktha]

Hi all,

I am working in Unix .I wish to learn GUI using shell programming .
But I don't have any basic idea of dtksh.
I did not get much information from net.
Could you please help to know about dtksh ?
Or anyone has the documents for the same?

Regards
Muktha

This is just ksh93, nothing to do with GUI.
It should be pretty much the same as a real shell, ksh or sh.

Muktha,

If you're serious about using dtksh, you should get this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Kornshell-Graphical-Programming-Addison-Wesley-Professional/dp/0201633752

If you want an easier and more modern tool for doing GUI programming from a script I'd look at TCL/Tk:

Hi Muktha:

GUIs aside, one of the nicest features available in the 'dtksh' (Korn93) shell is the ability to compute and work in real numbers and not just integers.

Your HP server will offer 'dtksh' as '/usr/dt/bin/dtksh' -- along with a manpage (of course).

# cat .realnums
#!/usr/dt/bin/dtksh
typeset -F R1
typeset -E R2
(( R1=1/8 ))
echo ${R1}
(( R2=1/8 ))
echo ${R2}
exit 0
# ./realnums
.1250000000
0.125

Regards!

as far as i know dtksh is ksh93 with some more colour/graphics operations (which i never got to work)
