Does anyone know if it is possible to run operating system level commands from within a PL/SQL stored procedure (aka: the SQLPLUS "HOST" command)?

I know it is possible to use the pipes package to pass commands to a Pro*C daemon but we wish to avoid Pro*C.

We are running Oracle 7.3.2.1.0 with PL/SQL 2.3.2.0.0 under Unix System V release 4.0
