It works fine for me, although it could be working here because of some of the hacks I've added. Note, though, that *other* applications won't work because, apparently, the binary-compatibility-mode run-time linker appears not to allow run-time dynamic loading (with "dlopen()") of shareable objects from SunOS 4.x. As such, a real port may be necessary. >I'll be interested in email exchange with anyone else doing Solaris2 work. If anybody's doing such a port, they should note that: 1) the main reason I wrote a version of the "class" dynamic loader that sat atop "-ldl" was to prevent somebody from writing a version that understood ELF images - SVR4 has "-ldl" also (actually, AT&T invented the API for it, and Sun picked it up for 4.1[.x]). 2) the pseudo-tty mechanism is different. 3) the net result of such a port may, if done right, amount not just to a Solaris 2.x port, but to a generic SVR4 port.
