Is there a binary distribution of 7.5 for Solaris/Linux ? Whoa! Read the release notes. You must install 7.5 on your ingester first, before upgrading the workstations. There are some things in the OS/2 7.5 menu that will not work if the server is not at 7.5. No, there are no binaries. But there is support for gcc/f2c for both Solaris and Linux so you can build it yourself. If you want help, let me know. >Yea, I keep seeing the prices fall.
