cde.bat and cde_app.exe need to be placed in your PATH.
I use a folder for utils/tools like this. I have it in the path, so I just drop them in. An old DOS habit.
CDE will automatically create cde_app.dat and cde_out.bat
cde_app.dat is the CDE data store (XML format).
Updating CDE:
CDE won't automatically update. You decide if/when it reaches out.

Future
For our linux needs, a python version has been started.
I'm working out the details. The concept will likely match this .Net version,
requiring two executable .sh files: cde and cde_out (on Windows they're two bat files).
cde_out is rewritten with each execution and executed when the application exits.
History
The original version was written in the early-mid 90's using Clipper.
It served it's purpose very well for years, then sat unused for a decade+.
Recently, work with linux and containers (Docker, etc.) has meant a return to command prompt/shell based work.
Windows outgrew the original version and linux has entered the mix, so new/viable versions seemed appropriate.
