Not at this time. If you need to have Oracle Version 7 on a P.C. you need to purchase OS/2 and then the Oracle server for OS/2, The oracle Virtual DOS machine for OS/2 and then you need to buy the Oracle development tools for Microsoft windows and install them.
What happens is that you startup OS/2 start up the Oracle 7 database and then startup up a microsoftwindows sessions and the oracle tools in that session. It should access the database under OS/2. (The virtual DOS machine is what does this). That how we did it at a place that I used to work. You might also look into the Oracle 7 Server for Windows NT.
You can call Oracle and talk to Oracle Direct Sales and they should help you more that I could. Also the OS/2 and windows setup is not as simple as I paint it to be, it is very involved.
