Markus, Nicolas,

i can't say if the sol8 bins will run on solaris 2.6. But my experience
is that binaries from solaris 8 run under solaris 7, so you might simply
install the binary and check if it works. I see no other way than
trying. 
If i remember correctly the pkg-package does not check for the os
version. So installation should be no problem. May be you can not get
the latest tcl/tk 8.3 for solaris 2.6. 

Please do not forget to tell us if it works. If not i can change the
pre-inst script to check for the os version.
But upgrading from 2.6 to sol 7 (or 8) should be not that much of a
problem now. 

HTH,

Andreas
