you're sales rep has no clue! i've been running OpenWindows 1.0 for about
2 months now (sparc version). talk to one of the SE's, you may have
better luck. that's basically the route i took. i borrowed the tape from
sun and copied it. the right to use liscense is part of sunos (i.e., it's
free), so there's no reason that you shouldn't be able to copy it from
someone. but don't quote me on that! :-) but hey, it exists, and it's good
stuff!!
