Re: Help required Setting up Personal Oracle 8 and Developer 2000 (both on windows 95)

I have managed to solve this by looking at old posting on www.deja.com and trial and error (I wish I had paid more attention in class) Many thanks to the following for asking and answering queries :

Richard Price
Sybrand Bakker, Oracle DBA
N. Steffens
Juhan Kundla
Phoebe Ho Wing Sze
Andrea Rinoldi
wozi
pedavies
Yosi Greenfield
and others

The bulk of the answer is in a document by Gina Thunder 'Connecting SQL*Net Tools to anOracle8 Database ' there is a copy at : http://www.oracle.com/support/categories/html/tools.html
