I don't know where you got the idea that sotruss was demo-ware it is
a fully supported command and it still exists in current versions of
Solaris and as yet no plans have been made to remove it.

apptrace does not replace sotruss it complements it, they also work
a slightly different way.

As of Solaris 7 the functionality of sotruss can be used directly from
truss using the -u flag to select which libraries are traced.

You might also want to look at whocalls(1).
