It shouldn't other than _perhaps_ having to relink McIDAS applications.
This may be needed by the McIDAS executables needing libraries that were
there under the older version of Solaris, but are not there under 8.

Even if it does, the fix is quick and relatively painless.

>Thank you,

Let me know if you run into any problems.  I can help you get going
quickly.
