ORAWIN73.DLL is the 16-bit DLL.
ORA73.DLL is the 32-bit DLL.

Using Delphi 1.0:
Install Oracle for Win3.11 drivers, (16-bit) Make sure path is set to "c:\orawin\bin" or wherever you set it to, on the drivers-panel of the BDE-config set vendor-init to "ora73win". Use the pull-down, and correct the number!
