Clarification of Windows policy Re: oraperl, os2 and oracle 7

Just to clarify:

• Our database is available on almost every platform.
• CDE/CDE2 are available on almost every platform. While CDE2 CASE is planned only for Windows and NT, CDE1 CASE is available for Motif, OS/2, and Windows. CDE1 and CDE2 Tools (i.e. Forms, Reports, Graphics, Procedure Builder, etc.) are generally available for Windows, Mac, Unix/Motif, and VMS/Motif (for development -- you can also run on Unix/char and VMS/char). Some products like Glue and Project X are planned for Windows and Mac, and others like Oracle Objects for Windows are planned for Windows only.
• Our financial/manufacturing/HR apps are available on all CDE/CDE2 platforms.
