Bharat,
A recommendation - run the Solaris ABI Certification tools on your
PilotMgr apps.  I'm not sure if the certification tools have the CDE
system models included, so if they don't it will still check to see if
you are using private interfaces.  All of our Solaris applications
should be written to be Solaris release independent, so this concern on
specific versions of a component goes away.  For the Solaris ABI tools
see URL

The PilotManager code should be written, if possible, to the standard
public ABIs offered by CDE, not platform-dependent and
implementation-specific interfaces.
