Oracle also announced that Oracle WebServer 2.0 is already shipping on Windows NT 3.5 and will be available for Windows NT 4.0.

Oracle's application development tools will continue their longstanding support of Windows NT.

Oracle Designer/2000, the industry's most popular design, modeling and analysis tool, is scheduled to be available for Windows NT 4.0 in the first half of 1997. Versions 1.3 of Developer/2000, Designer/2000 and Discoverer/2000 are currently available on Windows NT 3.5.

Also by the end of 1996, Oracle Power Objects-Oracle's workgroup client/server development tool-will be delivered on Windows NT 3.5 and 4.0.
