Whoa, Poul, I think you are wrong, at least as far as Solaris 2.5. Maybe
originally they used TCL/Tk, but in Solaris 2.3, admintool was pure OPEN
LOOK, and as of Solaris 2.4, it was Motif. Herewith, the proof:
# uname -a
SunOS aris 5.5 Generic_103093-02 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-20
# ldd /usr/bin/admintool
libprinter.so.2 => /usr/snadm/lib/libprinter.so.2
libserial.so.2 => /usr/snadm/lib/libserial.so.2
libadmldb.so.2 => /usr/snadm/lib/libadmldb.so.2
libadmutil.so.2 => /usr/snadm/lib/libadmutil.so.2
libadmapp.so.2 => /usr/snadm/lib/libadmapp.so.2
libmp.so.1 => /usr/lib/libmp.so.1
libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
libinstall.so.2 => /usr/snadm/lib/libinstall.so.2
libsw.so.2 => /usr/snadm/lib/libsw.so.2
libadm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libadm.so.1
libXm.so.3 => /usr/dt/lib/libXm.so.3
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
libXt.so.4 => /usr/lib/libXt.so.4
libX11.so.4 => /usr/lib/libX11.so.4
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libkvm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libkvm.so.1
libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
libintl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libintl.so.1
libelf.so.1 => /usr/lib/libelf.so.1
libXext.so.0 => /usr/openwin/lib/libXext.so.0
libw.so.1 => /usr/lib/libw.so.1
See /usr/dt/lib/libXm.so.3 in that mess above? If they're using Motif,
they can't also be using Tk! And I saw nothing in my casual inspection
of all those /usr/snadm/lib shared libraries to suspect that TCL is
linked in either. So where exactly is this supposed TCL/Tk? Certainly
not in Solaris 2.4 or 2.5!
