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").

Yep, which I
have, but it was not NeXTStep, it was OpenStep. It still
needs Solaris to run. It was just a window manager with the appropriate
OpenStep development environment, not the actual MACH-based OS.
I run OpenStep, CDE, Openwindows, Motif Window Manager on my
Solaris 2.6-based Sparc IPX...

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