Jim,

OK.

re: use Solaris' ldd function to check to see if binaries will run.

This looks good.

These are all shell scripts (Perl) so ldd should show that they are
an unsupported or unknown file type.  You can check the file type of
an unknown executable using the 'file' builtin in the C shell:

file pqinsert
file ldmadmin
 etc.

Right, you won't be.

It looks to me like the binaries will work on your system (after, ldd
on pqinsert did not show that it was looking for shared libraries that
couldn't be found).
