        I have just gone through this process (Using Pro*C for Unix, then port to NT). You need two pieces. First is the Pro*C pre-compiler running on a win95 or NT box. This comes with the Oracle Programmer or Oracle Client for the enterprise edition of Oracle. Second is a Win95 C compiler, Visual C++ v4.0 was what we used.

        Both the Pro*C pre-compiler and the Visual C++ compiler come with nice GUI interfaces, which being a unix programmer I considered totally useless. By setting a few flags for Visual C++ compiler, it generated a DLL for you, which works just like any other DLL.

        It's not complicated, but it does require a basic understanding of the compilers, and a little about Windows DLLs.
