Beg to differ. It _may_ work (I haven't tested) but there are some of us out
here who whan our (Sparc, Alpha, Other)-Linux to be PURE, not dependant upon
libs from the other guy's OS to get software to run.
Native programs are what we need.
Freely distributable versions of the required libs _might_ answer the mail for
the time being, but I am unsure of the practivality of this.
What are the legal implications of reverse engineering the libs?
How long will ne ISVs produce apps for SunOS, S(l)olaris, etc. version x.y.z?
<rhetoric>
BTW, where does one get copies of said libs when his workstation came bare,
w/o disk? Buying the media CDs from SunSoft (or whoever) would seem to defeat
the purpose....
