Obviously, if you have things for SPARC, you should not try to run it on completely other platform (x86 in this case) and you should find a machine with exactly a SPARC processor, reconstruct your environment (I would recommend you go with same Solaris 8 in order to be precise) and then there move your app. Hope it helps. -- Kind regards, BM Things, that are stupid at the beginning, rarely ends up wisely.
