Browser 2.0 is still available (as a Motif app) if you buy Developer/2000 for Unix, but it is not in the Windows versions anymore, so I understand.
Oracle sales claims that Discoverer 3.0 is better, blah blah blah. But really they're not equivalent products. Without the pain-in-the-butt metadata layer, Discoverer is useless. It's a high-overhead bloated program if you're an experienced user just trying to do some quick ad-hoc queries on a schema or the data dictionary.
