Hmmm. I must be missing someting. What's wrong with:

printf("[E[&11O[&11L[&18D[&12E...etc"); fflush(stdout);

at the beginning of your proC program???

You could even make it optionally executed based on a command line switch. So what really is the problem? It can't be this simple.

(Now the other factor in this is: what part of this is ORACLE related?)
