Easiest might be Oracle's Designer 2000 Server 2.1, which runs forms and reports on server, not on client.

If run on server, Forms HOST-calls would naturally work as good as before.

I just asked about this from Oracle, as we do have large reports (about half a million rows) and NT-workstations are too feeble for such a job. Unfortunately, we do have HP-UX 10.20 and Designer is only for 11. ( At least this I was told by Oracle.)

Designer Server is available on Solaris, though.
