Julio, there was a patch to libora.a library which enabled clients linked with 7.x (7.3.2 and below I believe) libraries to handle properly Oracle8 ROWID. It was included to some Oracle 8.0.3 distributions. Unfortunetally, Oracle 8.0.4 and above releases have some other serious issues which cause quite frequent core dumps of Oracle shadow processes with clients linked with pre-7.3 libraries. That's why pre-7.3 clients and RDBMS 8.0.4+ configurations are not certified by Oracle, I suppose.
