- I finally took a few minutes to call the technical reps of every software
- package running on my 4/300 computer.
-
- The grand tally: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!
-
- That's right, I own no software which is currently compatible with
- Solaris 2.1 Less than half of the vendors were currently working on
- a port.
-
- This is making me very curious. Suppose a "Classic" fell into my lap for
- free, say *tomorrow*. Just what the hell could I run on it?
-
- From where I sit, the vendors aren't abandoning SunOS4.1.3, far from it.
-
- Is Sun sure that all those vendors are going to do what they are being
- "forced" to do?
-
- Well I really am interested BTW. Has any commerial vendor released any
- software for Solaris 2.1?
