Yes it does. I use the IDL CALL_EXTERNAL facility on both a Sun workstation
and on VAX/VMS computers. In fact, I use the same routines on both machines.
However, I wasn't able to use CALL_EXTERNAL on the Sun until I upgraded to
SunOS 4.1.1. Apparently, it depends upon how up to date your operating system
is with the current UNIX standard. (SunOS 4.1.1 required a Sun patch to make
it work. SunOS 4.1.2 works without any patches.)
