The C++ runtime is part of the SUNWlibC package on Solaris (bundled with the OS). It is included in the "Entire Solaris Software Group". You do not have to buy the Sun compiler. Helen

Thank you kindly. I was uncertain because I had always thought that the Sun Developer (and higher groups) included the libraries, even though they omitted the actual compilers. Yet, a few days ago, our IBM Informix sales rep, after having checked with the IBM Informix IDS Development Product Manager, told us the libraries were an optional product that we needed to buy from Sun. That just didn't sound quite right to me. I hadn't heard that Solaris 9 had dropped any libraries that were formerly included.
