How do I run OpenWindows on a Solaris10 Sparc system?
I know it has been discontinued, but I have some applications that only run on OpenWin. And I would like to run Solaris10 instead of Solaris8, hence the problem. Can I download, install and run it with Solaris10?
Thanks, Mike

No, but we are not a support helpdesk.

What is the issue, is the problem it's interactions with the window manager or the libraries it requires?

Can I download OpenWin from a site
I am so sorry, let me re-phrase my question.
Is it possible to download OpenWin and anything else I might need to make OpenWin work from a site, install it and run it on Solaris10 O/S?
or
1] Will OpenWin work (interact) with Solaris10 OS?
2] If so, can I download OpenWin?
3] If so, what is the name of the site?

Thanks, Mike

Download SPARC OpenLook
Hello.

There's a pack for Solaris 10 (SPARC and x86) in this link: freshmeat.net: Project details for OpenWindows Augmented Compatibility Environment
I've tested on x86 and it works great!

ps: Sorry for my English.
