While there were discussions of solaris 7 really being Sunos 5.7.... just wanted to clear some things up: According to SMI, Solaris 7 is really an operating environment which consists of: SunOS 5.7 (which was preserved in 'uname' and other system calls so that shell / app wrappers don't break as users upgrade from previous vers.) CDE (Common Desktop Environment) ONC (Open network computing) + RPC protocol set for networking. There were a lot of neat things introduced with Solaris 7, such as multiple library support (32 vs. 64), Dynamic Reconfiguration, etc. Check out Solaris whitepapers at sun.com Regards, Isaac
