I just had a discussion with one of their guys...his "solution" was to get a copy for Solaris and run it on one of my systems at work...my response to that was that I wasn't prepared to spend a fortune for software that doesn't run on *my* operating system where I do all my development work on... That was Insure++...like, come on, is it really that tough if software is developed well, to port it from one Unix to another? I'm going to look at Purify next... Marc G.
