        I spoke with my ORACLE rep regarding this and he told me that Oracle has PO7 for Oracle done now but they are not releasing it to anyone until WIN95 comes out. They want to make sure it works with the final version of win95 and also they do not want to release PO7 for a beta version of win95 because they do not want to be flooded with phone calls (in support) about running PO7 on an OS that hasn't been released yet.

        PO7 will not run under WIN95, at least in my experience, although many of the CDE apps such as forms, book, and reports will.

        Hope this helps.
