- Sorry, I don't believe we have framemaker for Sun-3 on campus. Maple V
- binaries for Sun-3 work great though!!
-
- I just installed most of the Maple V distribution and it ran with no
- problems whatesoever. (Only the console based version, though... see
- below)
-
- With the ado over X11, I think your Sun-3 binary compatibility options
- have been overshadowed. I'm mightilly impressed, though. I haven't got
- a chance to try much, but everything I've tried works. Matlab started
- up no problem, I don't know how to use it though so I couldn't do much
- with it. :) I also ran a Sun-3 version of mwm (Motif Window Manager)
- under NetBSD-X11. I'd love to try some fancy Sun X stuff, but with only
- 4 MB, I'm already swapping out memory to move the mouse... :)
-
- We've got a lot of Sun 3 stuff lying around, if there are any requests
- to try things. My next mission is to get kerberos working, as
- everything here at CMU requires authentication. Hey, what do you think
- the chances are of Transarc's dynamic kernel loader patching the NetBSD
- kernel with Sun 3 andrew file system code? You never know....
