I've updated the Sun compilers, dbx debugger and Sun Studio GUI
software development environment (sunstudio) to the Studio 11
release. For the first time, dbx and sunstudio are also available for
Linux, but not the compilers (yet- supposedly Sun is working on Linux
ports).

To run these, first type 

add -f sunsoft_v11

followed by cc <options> file.c or f77 <options> file.f etc. (Sun)

or 

dbx file (Sun, Linux)

or

sunstudio & (Sun, Linux)

New features are at https://web.mit.edu/sunsoft_v11/whatsnew.pdf and local
documentation starting points are at https://web.mit.edu/sunsoft_v11/www/

As before we're doing static linking by default for libraries that
live in the locker- see files /mit/sunsoft_v11/README.athena and
/mit/sunsoft_v11/README.dynamic_linking for more information.

Note to non-Athena users- Sun has decided to give these tools away for
free and anyone can download them (after going through a free
registration process to get a username and password).
