Wow! That was quick! I was just going to type an addendum. orcallator.se 
doesn't appear in my proccess table. 

I wanted to briefly describe my environment:
Solaris8, SE version 3.3, yes, /opt/RICHPse/bin is in my path, I installed 
ORCA into default directories, which also, are in my path. 

Upon further investigation:

[austin]-/usr/local/bin# nohup /opt/RICHPse/bin/se -DWATCH_OS -DWATCH_WEB 
/usr/local/lib/orcallator.se 
Sending output to nohup.out
[austin]-/usr/local/bin# cat nohup.out
"/usr/local/lib/orcallator.se", line 1645: error: invalid member name: pagesio
"/usr/local/lib/orcallator.se", line 1645: error: argument type mismatch: arg 
#2: sprintf
"/usr/local/lib/orcallator.se", line 2120: error: undeclared variable: 
prpsinfo_t
"/usr/local/lib/orcallator.se", line 2120: error: syntax error
"/usr/local/lib/orcallator.se", line 2120: fatal: Errors detected.  Exiting.
[austin]-/usr/local/bin# 

Line 1645:

#ifdef WATCH_PAGES
measure_pages()
{
  put_output("pp_kernel", sprintf("%9lu", tmp_kstat_pages.pp_kernel));
  put_output("pagesfree", sprintf("%9lu", tmp_kstat_pages.pagesfree));
  put_output("pageslock", sprintf("%9lu", tmp_kstat_pages.pageslocked));
-->  put_output("pagesio",   sprintf("%7lu", tmp_kstat_pages.pagesio));
  put_output("pagestotl", sprintf("%9lu", tmp_kstat_pages.pagestotal));
}

Line 2120:

int count_proc(string name)
{
  int        count;
-->  prpsinfo_t p;

  count = 0;
  for (p=first_proc(); p.pr_pid != -1; p=next_proc()) {
    if (p.pr_fname =~ name) {
      count++;
    }
  }
  return count;
}
