The application is my company's proprietary product (SIMPROCESS), which
we support for Windows 2000 and higher as well as any Linux that is
compatible with the shared library code we use with FLEXlm licensing
(Macrovision says that means compatible with Red Hat versions 6 through
8). As a Mac supporter, I do some occasional testing on my PowerBook
and advocate for a Mac OS X version whenever I get the opportunity.

As a result, I don't have any code packaged in a way that could be made
open source or anything similar. But the previous post pretty much
described the logic I devised for Windows and Mac OS X portions.

or the Linux side, expecting that I can't readily detect the graphical
desktop manager myself, I set it up to look for a separate properties
file where the user is to give me two properties, named "file.view" and
"url.view". This allows me to let the user indicate what command to use
and supports something I learned in one of these groups some time ago,
which is that CDE on non-Solaris systems supposedly requires different
commands for a URL than for a file URI (I don't have access to such an
environment at present to test it). Naturally, it also allows the user
to choose whatever mechanism they want, even a path-oriented command,
provided it can accept a parameter (the URL or URI, as appropriate) to
do its work. I simply read in the property, break it around spaces, and
build my String array starting with those pieces.
