You don't want to know how many times I've gone on a consulting job and the first thing I did was spend hours trying to figure out what dimwit put what files where and which database files related to which Oracle files where.
There is nothing like seeing
/product/oracle/8.1.7/
/product/oracle/9.2.0/
To know what is what and make life much easier for everyone.
