Oracle 7 - OCDB Drivers - accessiblity by Microsoft Access 97 - table size etc, etc.

Newbie to Oracle needs advice, boss gave me some Oracle software that has been sitting around for about a year called "Personal Oracle 7 Enterprise Edition" release 7.1

Reading the information provided it is for windows 3.1; however in the manuals it has to have special software running for the 32 bit software to work in windows 3.1.

Question 1.
Can you load it under win98 or winNt without the 32 bit software and have it run correctly.

Question 2.
Will the OCDB drivers provided with it make data stored in an Oracle DataBase table accessible by Office 97 access?
