The word we got here from Oracle is that Forms 3 (no longer supported under
*any* version) will not run against 7.3. We have not actually tried it (we
have enough trouble keeping it working against 7.1). Your ProCOBOL and other
stuff should be alright.

We are just taking this as an *opportunity* to redesign the old apps (we are
using Delphi predominatly). Fortunatly, we are at least not faced with a
do-or-die cutoff date.

Good luck to you!
