Re: Oracle8i Client / Win 95 compatibility

Finally tracked the problem down in the debugger...it's not related to Oracle after all. The bug was introduced when we internationalized a string library using UTF-8 and did some character conversions back and forth to support non-Western languages. The code behaved differently than expected on Windows 95 compared to NT 4.0, causing an endless loop in a section that was handling an SQL query string.

Thanks for responding, Cliff. Sorry about the false alarm!
