Hi again, some similar updates as last nights, this time for Solaris 8.

The package:

    top.3.5b8.SPARC.32bit.Solaris.8.pkg.tgz

has these binaries:

    top-3.5b8-sun4m-5.8-32bit
    top-3.5b8-sun4u-5.8-32bit

The sun4m binary is the same so there is no need to install the new
package if you have it installed and running. If you want to update
your package however then do this:

    cd /var/tmp
    umask 022
    Fetch the top.3.5b8.SPARC.32bit.Solaris.8.pkg.tgz package
    pkgrm top
    gunzip -c top.3.5b8.SPARC.32bit.Solaris.8.pkg.tgz | /usr/bin/tar -xvf -
    pkgadd -d. top

This will properly remove the old top package before installing the new
package. This is so you don't have old binaries laying around.

More top(1) information can be found at:

    http://ibiblio.org/pub/packages/solaris/sparc/html/top.3.5b8.html

As always the packages can be found at:

    http://ibiblio.org/pub/packages/solaris/sparc/

I'll be working on the 64 bit Solaris 8 top on Monday, it requires the
install of a SUNWspro bundle which didn't occur today.

Cheers,
Mark
