Try looking in $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview.  I believe it is part of the standard
distribution.  At least I don't remember doing anything special to install
these applications when I installed OpenWindows on our Suns.

Actually, I remember using the sunview version of dbxtool for quite a while
before I finally needed to debug an application that required quite a bit
of the screen, so the xview version was a must.  The point is that I didn't
know it was there, and was about to grab xdbx off the net.  Maybe you
already have the xview version, too....
