Thanks to all who responded:

Regarding Checkpoint Firewall1 information and books...well, I did find
some on their web site. I tried to used the ID from our Firewall person to
get access to the FAQ, DOCS and other information at
www.checkpoint.com., however, firewall does not sell their product
directly ...so, all support comes from the reseller. I am using the
documentation that came with the product. Also, if you need a patch you
must get a passwd and id from the reseller...it is inconvenient.
Searching www.bookpool.com, www.amazon.com, www.cbooks.com
did not provide information about Firewall1.

Sanjiv K. Bhatia recommended three books on CDE:
Charles V. Fernandez. Configuring CDE: The Common Desktop
Environment. ISBN 0-13-102724-7

Common Desktop Environment 1.0: User's Guide. CDE Documentation
Group. ISBN: 0-201-48951-1

Common Desktop Environment 1.0: Advanced User's and Systems
Administrators' Guide. CDE Documentation Group. ISBN: 0-201-48952-X
