With all due respect (meaning: I don't want to start a flame war here),
Solaris 2.4 was released close to 7 years ago. If I were a developer I
would probably not have it very high on my list of priorities either.
I would be surprised if Sun has not end-of-life'd Solaris 2.4, actually.
My recollection from doing Y2K-related updating is that the oldest OS
Sun would support after 12/31/1999 was Solaris 2.5.1 and only then if you
applied the Y2K patch set for it.
