Thank you for your response.  I am finding OpenIndiana to be quite nice.  I
also don't mind using Sun Studio instead of Solaris Studio.

Where can I find sources for NetBeans, the compiler, and dbox?? debugger?
If I can add those few features it's missing, then it would make it usable
for me.

Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin
