SunOS 4.x uses major and minor revision numbers. If you have a library “Xt”, then it's named something like “libXt.so.4.10” (Major version 4, minor 10). If you update the library (to correct a bug, for example), you would install libX11.so.4.11 and applications would automatically use the new version.
