Re: Downloading Personal Oracle for Windows 98

Paul and SJ,

I found Personal Oracle8 available for download from: ftp://ftp.oracle.com/pub/www/po8mle/win95/small The same site allows the downloading of one huge file but my dial-up connection is very unreliable and slow. Therefore, I downloaded a few files each night until I had all 46 of them! (Patience is one of my few virtues).
