That is a possibility though most locations I have talked to have not
converted yet. On UNIX I would look for the oratab file to see what
was in it. On an NT system there is probably something similar, and
you can look at the task manager to see what is running. The problem
would be finding defined but not started instances and their
databases. The Oracle home structure itself might provide clues
especially if an OFA style structure was followed.
