subject: Maximus on Solaris 10

If it won't run on Solaris, then one thing I could do is use a linux
container in Solaris which is based on CentOS, a RedHat compatible linux
distribution.  Anything that runs on Linux will run in that.  However, the
ability to run my DOS doors is still a factor.


Thanks,
Ryan
