I think he's talking about something different. The original poster said he wants it to run on the Netware box. That's called an NLM in the Netware world and is a whole lot different that an executable for a normal os. The Oracle side should be the same but you need to get some sort of NLM developers kit from Novell. It's a big deal from what I hear, remember netware is not a concurrent processing environment, it's cooperative processing.
