There's another issue -- legal issue. If system running Personal Oracle = supports
connections from any other machine than running that instance, as far as = I
know it is a license violation. I don't suppose that system on based HP-UX 10.20 is run by one end-user. So if database should run with = several
concurrent user sessions, at least Workgroup Server should be used.

Technically... Im affraid that on NT DOS-mode SQL*Forms simple cannot = connect
to any database even if it runs in the command prompt. But if SQL*Forms would be still running on HP-UX, there's no problem to connect via SQL*Net 2 to at least _workgroup_ server running on NT. I saw such mixture working very well, however I don't advise it as a = very good
solution. You must have SQL*Net 2 and protocol adapters/s/ installed on ORACLE_HOME containing SQL*Forms.
