we just developed a c/c++ 16-bit windows app to interface with a client's Sun version of Oracle (7.1.4.2) using OCI. internally, we purchased:

  Oracle7 Workgroup Server v7.1 for NetWare   Pro*C for Windows
  Pro*C for Windows NT (so we could get ready for 32-bit)

as i understand it, the only way to get the OCI docs, import libraries, and header files is to purchase Pro*C.

everything worked as advertised -- we could develop/test adequately in the NetWare environment, and our app is working without problems (so far!) at the client's site.

there's a WWW site for oracle where you can ask questions of their sales department:

  http://www.oracle.com/

hope this helps.
