I don't think so. BTW, John Carr, from MIT, is maintaining a port of native OCaml compiler to Sparc V9 architecture (http://www.mit.edu/~jfc/) and he is working on Solaris system. As far as I know, his patches have been contributed back to OCaml official tree. So I would say that the Solaris is pretty well supported and performance should be quite acceptable. But the best way is probably to try it by yourself. Best wishes, d. -- pub 1024D/A3AD7A2A 2004-10-03 David MENTRE 5996 CC46 4612 9CA4 3562 D7AC 6C67 9E96 A3AD 7A2A
