Well, at least OCI.DLL, OCIW32.DLL and oraclient8.dll (oraclient9.dll
in 9i) do have VS_VERSION_INFO (at least in my 8.1.7 and 9.2
installations, so probably in others, too.) And there are plenty of
components that can parse and display this resource (for example,
in RXLib, which is free and is actually a must have for Delphi
developers.) Be aware though that file versions may lag behind
patchset version (for example, I've 8.1.7.4 patchset installed, but
OCI dlls are versioned as 8.1.7.3, while oraclient8.dll is at 8.1.7.4).
