SunOS Binary Compatibility

Two major changes from SunOS 4.x hold true for Solaris 2.x releases. The binary compatibility package allows SunOS 4.x-based dynamically linked socket applications to run in Solaris 2.x.

1. You must explicitly specify the socket library (lsocket) on the compilation line.

2. You must recompile all SunOS 4.x socket-based applications with the socket library to run under Solaris 2.x.
