Marc,
Thanks, I think I understand how they did it -- we have a similar setup one 2 PCs that are used similar to what you are describing.
Thanks everybody. For a second there, a hope revived inside of me that we can move the darn thing to Win'95 (we are stuck with an old application that is in the process of being rewritten but the existing one will be around for some time still :-(

Val,
I don't know if this is useful to you or not, but I was running an old
application using Oracle 5.1A and Forms 2.2 under stand-alone Windows 95
for
the last several years. You had to reboot Win95 into DOS mode, but it was
set up using a MS-DOS icon on the desktop and then when done using Oracle,
the user rebooted by typing EXIT and was back in Win95. This application
was
intermittently used, so this was an acceptable solution because it let the
user utilize real Win95 software the rest of the time.
If this is useful, let me know and I can send details.

<< Eric,
Did you actually get it to work on a Win'95 machine? When you say you were
using the "client32" DOS drivers what do you mean?
The only reason I am asking is that the only way we could get it to work
was on a DOS machine (Win 3.1). I did not try to hard setting it up on
Win'95 pretty much because I assumed that a DOS application will not have
a
way of using a 32 bit IP stack.
Please shed the light on this as I would like to move all this Win'95.
Thanks,
Val.

FWIW, don't forget that Oracle's extended memory manager for DOS
("sqlpme.exe") is also required (NOT COMPATIBLE WITH A DOS BOX IN
WIN9x!!!).
Ahhh, remember the "good old days" when you had to fit your network
drivers and all that sh*t into 640K RAM?
Anyways, per the appended SQL*Net v2-lite documentation, the TCP/IP
vendors supported are:
OWS> a) FTP OWS> b) Novell OWS> c) PCNFS
OWS> SQLFORMS SCOTT/TIGER_at_t:184.34.78.32/1521:ora -C BIOShave fun,
