Finding SunOS release 4 Tools

Most SunOS release 4 programming tools are still available and stil provide the same capabilities, but many are in new locations. All bundled programming tools are now in the /usr/ccs/bin library except cpp, which is now in the /usr/ccs/lib library. Table 16-8 shows the programming tools and their SunOS release 4 locations.
