Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Oracle 8 and Forms 3
As someone else suggested, it's relatively easy to
convert to Forms4.5.
In my last job, we converted from Forms3 to Forms4.5
to run in character mode on the same Unix box with
relatively few problems. As far as I can recall, the
v3 trigger names are recognized by v4.5, but we ran
the forms through an awk script to change the references
etc. before compiling - probably not supported by Oracle
as a technique but it worked a treat.
I may still have the scripts if you want to pursue this
method.
Note that v4.5 in character mode looks and behaves exactly
like Forms3 - no GUI interface/mouse problems
