I've got a Sparc at work, and my own PC at home, and I'd like to take some of the executables home -- not to recompile or anything, just to run. I've been looking at a Linux package called iBCS, which claims to support both the Sparc architecture and Solaris emulation. (Does anyone know if this works?) Is there a similar functionality available for FreeBSD which might allow me to run my Solaris binaries? Thanks, Stacy sfriedma@us.oracle.com
