No, Sun 6.0 really does suppose partial spec. and member templates,
at least my version does ;)

CC: Sun WorkShop 6 2000/04/07 C++ 5.1

Or was there some corner case with member templates that
didn't work for you?

The Sun people put a lot of work into version 6. It's
not perfect yet, but it is a BIG improvement over v5.

The following program compiled and executed correctly:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

class foo {
public:
  template <class T>
  void bar(T x) { std::cout << x << std::endl; }

  template <class T>
  struct yow {
    void bar(T x) { std::cout << x << std::endl; }
  };

};

template <class T>
class zoo {
public:
  void ooz() { std::cout << "I'm not special!" << std::endl; }
};

template <class T>
class zoo< std::vector<T> >
{
public:
  void ooz() { std::cout << "I'm special!" << std::endl; }
};

int main()
{
  // check member function templates
  foo f;
  std::string x = "Hello world";
  f.bar(x);

  // check member class templates
  foo::yow<std::string> y;
  x = "Hello again";
  y.bar(x);

  // check partial specializations
  zoo< std::vector<int> > z;
  z.ooz();

  return 0;
}
