The message he reported "file" giving was from the SunOS 4.x
"/etc/magic", not the SunOS 5.x "/etc/magic", so he's running SunOS 4,
not SunOS 5, and doesn't have "/usr/ccs", much less "/usr/ccs/bin/dis".

He can use "adb", although it's not quite as pleasant (more interactive,
possibly less automatic).

Then again, if he's going to be disassembling code, and possibly
de-compiling it by hand, it may not matter how pleasant the disassembly
phase is....
