We received written notice from Oracle that the company was to end support of Oracle6 at the end of the current calendar year. We are currently using Oracle6 and plan to upgrade early next year to Oracle7. You *can* continue to get support from them for another year but you must pay an additional 10% on top of your current support fees.
