Right? We're working on Solaris/x86 at the moment, and the vast majority of that should work on Solaris/sparc if/when a port happens. A good deal of Solaris 2.5.1 stuff works at the moment; I've just recently returned home from business travel so I can continue working out why 2.6 libraries/linker fail. See http://slash.dotat.org/~newton/freebsd-sparc for further info. Additional developers welcome, of course :-) - mark -------------------------------------------------------------------- I tried an internal modem, newton@atdot.dotat.org but it hurt when I walked.
