I was not aware that is seems to be relatively easy from wjhat you are saying to run several versions of Oracle under one hood.

So you say, one can go ahead and install an 8.1.7, 9.0.1, 9.2 and 10g one after the other in one real machine (Windows XP for example) and have them running all simultaneously. Without any hacks? Amazing.
