Ask your Oracle rep about Oracle Data Browser. I've seen it running
under Windows and it doesnt look too bad. In the UK, Oracle are
supplying a demo disk plus a Q&A document (part no 3000153-0491) if you
ask them. The demo is OK except it doesnt like DOS=HIGH in your
config.sys. Another use for the Q&A document is that Oracle use it
to knock products from other vendors but that may give you some ideas
about things worth looking at.
