Yep, which I

Really? I'd thought it was the entire OS (BTW, I'm pretty sure NeXTStep 3.3
will also run on it).
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").
