This is compatible with Solaris output.

Of course,  you need to guess which version of Solaris,  and which
patch changed it...  Sigh.

Solaris 2.5 2.5.1 2.6 2.6 +patches 7 7+patches 7+patches+patches
8 (don't know about patches yet).

If you have a support contract you can rattle my chain and I will
try to put out a version compatible with your site requirements,
but I really really suggest that you modify the Oracle stuff.

Of course,  the next Solaris updqate will change the format...
So you might as well get used to this.
