Re: [foxboro] 32bit/64bit confusion

Stan,

Following is the case:

As soon as the box has the addition "ultra" in its SUN name, we deal =
with a
64 bit machine.
When it is "only" a Sparc, so without the "ultra", it is a 32 bit =
machine.
Refer to the PSS documents for the boxes and you can find it there, at =
least
for the 64 bit machines.

PSS 21H-3B5 B4 for the 51D
and
PSS 21H-4R7 B4 for the 51F

also, please take note of the following excerpt from the "man uname" =
output:

     Independent Software Vendors (ISV) and others  who  need  to
     determine  detailed characteristics of the platform on which
     their software is either being installed or executed  should
     use the uname command.

     To determine the operating system name  and  release  level,
     use  uname  -sr.   To  determine  only  the operating system
     release level, use uname -r.   Note  that  operating  system
     release  levels are not guaranteed to be in x.y format (such
     as 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, and so forth); future releases could be in
     the  x.y.z  format  (such  as  5.3.1,  5.3.2,  5.4.1, and so
     forth).

     In SunOS 4.x releases, the arch command was  often  used  to
     obtain  information  similar  to  that obtained by using the
     uname command.  The arch command  output  "sun4"  was  often
     incorrectly interpreted to signify a SunOS SPARC system.  If
     hardware platform information is desired, use uname -sp.

     The arch -k and uname -m commands return equivalent  values;
     however,  the use of either of these commands by third party
     programs is discouraged, as is the use of the  arch  command
     in  general.  To  determine  the  machine's  Instruction Set
     Architecture (ISA or processor type), use uname with the  -p
     option.

Good luck,
