Can Solaris x86 run old applications that were com

问题:

Is the x86 edition able to run old apps? Does it take care of all endianness stuff?

Please don't send me to Google :) I honestly tried and was not able to find a solid answer with some references.

No, you can't. You must use an emulator like QuickTransit to do that

You can find more information on Google with the appropriate keywords

If you have the source code it'll be easier to do a recompile to the target platform. You can read
