Thanx for the overwhelming number of replies.

Oracle V5 and V6 were ported to DOS!!!

Quotes from postings I received:
1. I remember using Oracle6 as a DOS TSR (SQLPME.EXE). It was an ugly

   product.
2. support will be dropped at the end of 1995; 3. V6 is compatible with Windows Standard mode, you need to set

   DYNAMIC_MEMORY=...
4. Control-Break from a PC client tool doesn't stop a big DB operation

   (eg subquery or join) on a server over SQL*Net. "Out of band breaks"    are not supported on SQL*Net v1.

Cheers
Frank
