Re: Help: SQL*Net and Windows95

Hi,

I strongly recommend not to use Oracle Win3.11 software for Win95. Try to get the Win95 software!!
Some poeple say it works, but you will have a lot of trouble. See www.oracle.com for trial versions.

The products are searched in \orawin and \orawin95 respectively. Check you PATH in autoexec.bat

HTH, Toni
