Oh, that is good news.

I had misunderstood there was a choice because of the download names,
suggesting you actually got a compiler built with Studio or gcc depending on
which file you downloaded.

That sounds much better, thanks. But for the downloadable stuff where
presumably you get a working setup already built and just have to untar the
tarball, which compiler(s) are you going forward with now? In other words,
since you have consolidate the various Solaris versions as you listed above
and it is no longer necessarily indicative of Studio v. gcc, are you going
to make turnkey builds available as in the past and if so what will they be
built with? And I would vote for using Studio if possible...

Thanks.
