WBEM-based Dynamic Reconguration
The feature known as WDR - Web-Based Enterprise Management Dynamic Reconguration -
might not be supported in a future release of the Solaris Operating System. WDR is currently
supported on Sun Fire midrange and high-end systems.
XIL Interface
The XIL interface might not be supported in a future release. An application that uses XIL
causes the following warning message to be displayed:
WARNING: XIL OBSOLESCENCE
This application uses the Solaris XIL interface
which has been declared obsolete and may not be
present in version of Solaris beyond Solaris 9.
Please notify your application supplier.
The message can be suppressed by setting the environment variable
"_XIL_SUPPRESS_OBSOLETE_MSG.
xetops Utility
The xetops utility might not be supported in a future release. The xetops utility converts an
Asian text le to a PostScript le. This conversion enables Asian characters to be printed on
PostScript printers that do not have resident Asian fonts.
Similar capability is provided in the mp command, which has been enhanced to support all of the
native Asian encodings with more options and functionality.
