No not rocket science at all. I use powershell, wscript and cygwin
for my windows scripting needs, but I thought the comment was about
the documentation. I consider the .bat file and fudging the paths and
shortcuts a workaround. I haven't had an issue with the init files.
The problem as I see it on Windows is multi-homing especially with 9i
and 10g versions is tedious and not well documented by Oracle. Is it
in the Oracle documentation? I don't think so, but I could be
wrong. :-)
