Further disadvantage for Forms 4 character mode is extremely limited
terminal type support (vt100 and thats it) and no way to define others
in my environment (NCR SVR4 MPRAS IABI) or so ORACLE support people tell
me. This hurts for a remote dial-in application.
Can someone at oracle explain why it is so difficult to support terminal types or even a method of admin maintenance?
