.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Getsolaris is a wizard that can be used to create 
a processor specific directory
.I installdir
that contains 
soft-links to binaries for Solaris. The selectable
versions are known working packages of the requested 
software.

The directory 
.I installdir
is expected to not exist.
getsolaris will err and exit if the directory does exist,
unless the -f option is used. The -f option forces getsolaris
to install its files in the directory specified even if it
already exists.
