SUMMARY: Patchdiag and Solaris 10

Hello,

I dug into patchdiag myself and found that it is basically a compiled
perl program with the source supplied. On looking at this, it become
apparent that the logic used to determine the OS version was wrong. It
assumed a single digit after the '.' (E.g. 5.9). This caused the version
of SunOS it thought it was running on to be 1, not 10.

I can supply the changes I made if requested.

An alternative is to set up smpatch which is the more up to date way of
managing patches.

Thanks to:

Vincent S. Cojot

and others who may reply before seeing this summary.
