Still not sure from that but take it that there's just the one list
so you can see everything, but only download what you're entitled-to.

OT: Wasn't paying attention: Just discovered the one preserved S10
app is broken (documented last working last September).  From notes:-

"Sunos 4 Binaries:
Support for the SunOS 4 binaries has been removed.  However, the
SunOS 4 binaries can still be executed in an Oracle Solaris 10 Zone."

As this appears to be missing from the GZ following an SUR update I
tried to fix by reinstalling the now-missing SunOS4 compatibility pkg:

When it was last not working in that BNGZ, the error was then:

crt0: /usr/lib/ld.so mapping failure

but now it it's:

*** Segmentation Violation = signal 11 code 3
Segmentation Fault
