Hi Andrew,

we also have Delphi 1.0 client software running against Oracle databases; first database was a 7.3, later we added an 8.0. Client software runs perfect against both machines, only need to specify a different servername (TNS) in the BDE configuration utility.

Drivers section in IDAPI.CFG says:
Version : 2.0
Type: server
DLL: SQLD_ORA.DLL
VENDOR INIT: ORA7WIN.DLL
SERVER NAME: TNS Alias section:
TYPE: ORACLE
PATH: <blank>
SERVER NAME: <your TNS name>
NET PROTOCOL: <blank>

Let me know if you need more details
