You are seriously telling that you are running Oracle 7.1 on win98? Where did you dig that up? A 16-bits client means a client compatible with Windows *3.1*.
You'd better surprised it runs at all!

And of course: in 32-bit sw the 4-byte integer is the native datatype and all 2-byte integers have to be converted to 4-byte. Just look at the differences between the 16-bit and 32-bit windows api.

You, your boss, and your vendor must be out of their mind to still run unsupported software on an uncertified desupported O/S (because Microsux stopped supporting Win98)
