[rescue] SunOS 4

[Mike Spooner]

William,

I have a Sun Workshop (the previous name for Sun Studio) CD from circa 1993. However, the Sun compilers from that era were licensed using FlexLM, so without a valid key would not work.

As it happens, I might have a key as well, I need to check. If so, that should do for all of us, as IIRC early-90's FlexLM licensing doesn't do "phoning-home", the checks are all only against the feature-encoded key.

I'll get the version details of the CD, and post the info as a reply here.

Regards,
Mike
