Re: 9.2.0.5 is available for win32 (now AIX)

One of our dba's installed it without a glitch on AIX5L (5.2) (Bull hardware)
The only thing she mentioned was that it took some time for the installer to get
the dependencies (30min).
No ORA-600's ...we went from 9204 to 9205.

... our favorite bug - filesystemio_options finaly fixed ;-)
