Re: 8.03 Intelligent Agent on NT4.0 SP5

Chris,

    Thanks, I will give it a whirl. I do have Unix tools on my own NT laptop, and am interested in what this site has to offer.

    However, I am on customer site, and cannot install anything other than Oracle and Oracle's tools on the machine in question.

    Regards.

Tony
