I'm not sure if you really need that file, I might be that it is not available if you installed the machine without network.
CDE needs proper name resolution and the standard order after a fresh installation is DNS -> /etc/hosts -> NIS/NIS+
So if your system is not yet registered in the DNS, the hostname cannot be resolved and CDE does not start. So you have to switch this order to /etc/hosts -> DNS -> [...]. You can use sam for that in single user mode.
Go to "Networking and Communications" -> "Name Service Switch" and then see the order at "hosts". First source should be "/etc/hosts".

If you're on the console (ITE) or on an HP terminal this is because "ASCII 8 bit mode" is enabled. You can turn it off in the setup menu, which you can access through the function keys:

- Press Numlock
-> the yellow boxes on the bottom of screen change their description
- F8 config keys
- F5 terminal config
- go with TAB to "ASCII 8 Bits"
- set with F2 to "Yes"
- save with F1

NAME
tttk_message_destroy -- destroy a message conforming to the CDE conventions SYNOPSIS
#include <Tt/tttk.h> Tt_status tttk_message_destroy( Tt_message msg); DESCRIPTION
The tttk_message_destroy function can be used in place of tt_message_destroy(3). It destroys any patterns that may have been stored on msg by ttdt_message_accept(3) or ttdt_subcontract_manage(3). Then it passes msg to tt_message_destroy(3). RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the tttk_message_destroy function returns the status of the operation as one of the following Tt_status values: TT_OK The operation completed successfully. TT_ERR_NOMP The ttsession(1) process is not running and the ToolTalk service cannot restart it. TT_ERR_POINTER The pointer passed does not point to an object of the correct type for this operation. TT_WRN_STOPPED The message is not actually destroyed. (A message is not destroyed if it is in a non-final state; for example, a request for which the reply has not been received.) SEE ALSO
Tt/tttk.h - Tttttk(5), tt_message_create(3), tt_message_destroy(3), ttdt_file_notice(3), ttdt_file_request(3). tttk_message_destroy(library call)
