Chuckle.  This seems to be today's email topic :-)

Relax, guys.  You don't have to run CDE to use the CSA
interface.  I am not running CDE right now and don't foresee
running it in the near future.  I know a lot of really talented
engineers have put a lot of time into CDE, but I've put so much
time into customizing my Openwin desktop it just doesn't seem
worthwhile to switch for now.

You can get the CSA libraries for Solaris 2.4, 2.5.x and 2.6.
You will be able to run PilotManager just fine without CDE.
You'll also be able to run it on your SGI, HP, Digital, or
Linux box.  It will also talk to Applix and Lotus.  Joy!
