  [51]libg++-2.7.1
   [52]libstdc++- 2.8.1
   [53]lsof-4.11
   [54]lynx-2.7.1
   [55]m4-1.4
   [56]make-3.77
   

That's what they have for 2.5 sparc.

Only an OLD version.

And no lynx at all for 2.6 and 2.7  (actually, very very few
  of any programs for 2.7.  Is sun telling us something about 2.7?)

Seems to me that WE should make lynx packages available, whenever
a new "supported" version appears.

...

(Now, let's see -- who on this list might have access to
 machines with solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, and 2.7 -- maybe not only
 sparc but intel too.  Let me think a bit -- geez, just WHO might
 that be?    ;-)   )
