  The problem is that a local DOS Oracle database uses its own memory   management scheme (SQLPME) which conflicts with Windws running in Enhanced   mode. If you have enough memory, you can load the Oracle database, then   run Windows and connect using the "S:" connect string. The "S:" stands   for single tasking. I have done this using Oracle Card and MS Excel using   the Q+E version which comes with Excel 4.0.
