It points to Forms because you can only use it in Forms/Windows, there is no server side equivalent for Oracle 7.3. I have read that Oracle 8 provides something like ora_ffi but for UNIX platforms but do not know anything else. In both cases you will need to build a library in which you have your functions.

If you are working with Oracle 7 you can call external functions using Oracle pipes.
