It does not take too many efforts really supporting SunOS. As far as access to SunOS 4, if you don't want to invest 10-20 bucks for a sparcstation, you can run it on tme, an emulator for sun3, sun4 and ultrasparc. I just added a Linux ethernet driver to it that works like a charm with NFS. SunOS 4 for sun3 is freely available, so are the boot ROMs. I am afraid that being active maintainer asks for more time than I have, but I can send patches for sure to fix things and at least make the job easier for other old Sun users. What's the right address to send patches for the library? Michael
