Required Oracle 8 packages - should "SUNWtool" be "SUNWtoo"?

I'm reading the Oracle 8.0.4 installation guide (for Solaris) and an OS requirement is for the package "SUNWtool" to be installed. This is currently not installed - however "SUNWtoo" is!

So what's the score here? Did Oracle mean "SUNWtoo", or is there a "SUNWtool" package that I must get?

From "pkginfo -l" I see --

   PKGINST:  SUNWtoo
      NAME:  Programming Tools
  CATEGORY:  system
      ARCH:  sparc
   VERSION:  11.6.0,REV=1997.07.15.21.46
   BASEDIR:  /
    VENDOR:  Sun Microsystems, Inc.
      DESC:  utilities for software development, including ld, ldd, od, and

truss

   HOTLINE:  Please contact your local service provider
    STATUS:  completely installed
     FILES:     28 installed pathnames
                 6 shared pathnames
                 7 directories
                20 executables
               955 blocks used (approx)

From this I guess it complements the "SUNWbtool" package (another Oracle pre-requisite) as SUNWbtool is described as "Software development utilities, including ar, dis, dump, lex, lorder, mcs, nm, prof, ranlib, rpcgen, size, strip, tsort, and yacc". I'm guessing the Sun SUNWtool package declares itself as SUNWtoo from pkginfo.

Any help appreciated,
Cheers,
Tiernan.
