I know that I am not the right person to answer this, as I know nothing
about "SUNCORE", however nobody else has responded yet....  I assume
that the CORE part of SUNCORE means that it was based upon CGI.  If so,
then I would say that Starbase might be your best bet (it might be
anyway from a performance standpoint).  Starbase was originally based
upon a snapshot of CGI (though it's been greatly enhanced and extended
since then).
