There's a third-party product for AIX 4 (and 3) which is similar to truss: sctrace, from SevOne Software. It's quite good, but you do have to pay for it. AIX's trace facility is actually quite powerful (you can do some interesting things if you dig into its innards and rewrite the template file), but it's not nearly as convenient for quick tracing of a single process as truss/ltrace/sctrace.
