I have already 'converted' the R3.12 Beta to build and run under Solaris 2, 
using the Solaris ucb libraries (in fact there aren't too many changes needed 
once you get the CONFIG files right). Janet Anderson at APS is evaluating my 
changes and will be folding it into the official release. 

If you want a System-V version, I also have some of the changes required for the 
epics base, although these aren't heavily tested and need alterations to the 
CONFIG files or over-rides in the Unix makefiles.
