Version 4.0 of NCAR Graphics requires Sun's Fortran and C 3.0
compilers. These compilers are available for SunOS 4.1.3 *and*
Solaris 2.4, so it shouldn't be necessary for you to upgrade to
Solaris 2.4.

I'm not sure what the problem is, but I've had no problem printing
from our Sun running Solaris 2.4. Of course, I'm not the system
administrator, so I don't know if something special had to be done!
