At the risk of stating the obvious, and no slander intended, what's wrong with

        cat /etc/oratab

or

        cat /var/opt/oracle/oratab

or even

        cat $TNS_ADMIN/oratab

to find out what version goes where?

I agree 100%, but we live in a slightly un-ideal world (apologies Howard for misuse of English)

PS. Come on you Aussies in the Rugby World Cup final. It's bad enough being reminded at *every* available opportunity that England did win something back in 1966 in the footie, without having to have rugby shoved down our throats as well for the next 40 odd years.

And as for England, stop kicking the damned ball - you're playing rugby for crying out load. Score trys or take up football.
