Integrated soft X-ray (8-12A) fluxes for solar flares have been scaled to the equivalent EXOSAT fluxes using spectra obtained from a variety of rocket-based experiments. The data show good agreement with the soft X-ray - Hγ correlation established by Butler et al. (1988) for stellar flares and confirm the basic similarity, in this respect, of flares on the Sun to those on dMe stars.
