I have not tried that combination myself. As far as I remember
Oracle V5.1 for Sun 3 was written and compiled under Sun OS 3.5.
It would run okay under Sun OS 4.0.X but I believe the SQL*Net
and other things would fail if you attempted to relink any
Oracle executables or Pro*C applications under SunOS 4.0.x
Your guess is as good as mine as to what will happen under 4.1.1.
Since V6 was released on Sun back in June 1989, you may find
it difficult to find any adequate technical assistance for any
problems you encounter with V5. In fact, Oracle no longer
officially supports V5 on Sun 3.
