It should work in theory as 2.5.1 is just a patched version of 2.3 and 2.4. I know it is not supported by Oracle but have seen it running and all the tools working as well. You should keep in mind that 7.0.16 is really not supported anymore and putting it into production for this reason alone would make me scared. I would use 7.2.3 if you need the version 6 tools.

The only problem with using 7.2.3 and V6 tools such as forms30 and menu is that there is a bug that causes sql*net V2 to hang when a host command is issued. Although I am told that this will be resolved soon by support. Received on Mon Feb 03 1997 - 00:00:00 CST
