Exploring Workstation Applications with Motif and CDE gives the reader an overview of workstations, how they compare with personal computers in function and applications, and provides tips on how to complete everyday tasks using workstation applications. Basic background information for the reader gives the groundwork, and specific examples with applications available on workstations and using the Internet provide greater detail on how to make effective use of a workstation.

The book covers both OpenVMS and Digital UNIX and examples are generic enough to provide insights in how to use workstations in other environments.
It also highlights both the Motif and CDE (Common Desktop Environment) user interfaces, and gives examples from several applications including FrameMaker Mosaic, a database application, programming tasks, mail, and using commonly available accessories or small applications such as the clock, the calendar and the cardfiler.
