It should be as it's possible to thunk a 16bit application call to a 32bit DLL (i.e. call a 32bit DLL from a 16bit application). However I doubt if this is worth the effort as it only increases the complexity of the application without any real benefits. 16bit SQL*Net is automatically thunked to 32bit TCP/NetBEUI/IPX by Win95 anyway. Doing this thunking earlier up in the call chain IMO is not of much use except to make the programmer go bald earlier.. :-)
