There's top (generic, portable) and then there's proctool, but that hasn't been
updated in a while but will work on Solaris 7 and is more powerful than top or
Process Manager
(http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/packages/solaris/freeware/SOURCES/PROCTOOL/). IIRC
Process Manager (which basically is a top workalike from CDE) came bundled
first with Solaris 8.
