I'd heard rumors there was somebody out there who liked Oracle*Card
but wasn't employed by Oracle. Nice to meet you Frederic :)

Frederic - Oracle basically took Oracle*Card 2.0 (the new version) and
renamed it to Oracle Media Objects - Enterprise Version (OMO-EV). It's
supposed to be fully backward compatable with Card applications. But
there are several other options such as Visual Basic which, as opposed to
OMO-EV, seem to have a real future. OMO's future is multimedia support,
which you don't appear to need for now. Of course if you go with VB the
main difference is that your leash will be pulled by Microsoft rather
than by Oracle.
