   In order to do any client server with oracle you need SQL*NET running on    both machines. In your case you would get SQL*NET for your PC and then    purchase one of the following:

      Oracle's Oracle Card, Gupta, Power Builder , or one of the many others.

I just started using Oracle's Oracle Card, and it works well, though there are limitations.
With the DDE manager I have been able to import directly into Quattro, Word, and WordPerfect (for Windows). Anyone have any thoughts on the other products listed above?
