Features and Interfaces Scheduled for
Retirement
This chapter lists features of Tru64 UNIX scheduled to be removed from, or
changed in, future functional releases. Users and developers should plan to
migrate away from or accomodate changes in these features in the near
future.
8.1 DECwindows Applications
The following DECwindows utilities and tools will be retired in a future
release of Tru64 UNIX. These dx* tools and utilities, commonly known as
DECwindows, have been replaced by the dt* tools in Common Desktop
Environment (CDE) that were introduced in Version 4.0 of the operating
system. The replacement applications are listed in Table 8-1. Not all of the
dx* applications that will be retired have a replacement due to the limited use
or capability of that specific tool/utility.
