NAME

  dtfile_error - the CDE File Manager error-dialog script

  This script can be used by applications to display an error dialog when it
  would be difficult or impossible to do in the context of the executing
  program.  For example, it can be used when exec fails in a child process or
  if an error is detected before an application's main window can be
  realized.  It can also be used from a shell script to display an error
  dialog.

  This script is used by File Manager to display an error dialog when exec
  fails within a child process.
