There's OpenStep for Solaris, and there's NEXTSTEP for Sparc. The
latter is plain old NS3.3 and runs FAT NEXTSTEP binaries; the former
is Solaris with X11 and all and runs SunOS binaries. OpenStep for
Solaris requires an older version of Solaris (2.5.1 was too new when I
tried it), but it's free --

Note that that's "OpenStep for Solaris" (compare "OpenStep for Windows
NT"), and not "OpenStep for Mach for Sparc" (compare "Openstep for
Mach for Intel").
