Chris,

I don't know what kind of Unix you have... but you should use this link http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/index.html

for Developer Suite which contains Forms and Reports. Unfortunately, ODS isn't there for most Unix versions.
This is because development is done under Windows, Linux, or Solaris. Then you can do your deployment on Oracle Application Server for other OS (compiled Forms and Reports).

Installation of Development tools is straight forward: run the installer, start Forms Developer and connect to your DB using the db account, password and connect string. Deployment is a completely different story, too complicated to sum it up here, and it's been a while since I did this.... but I'm sure some others can tell you how to do this.

Do you have any experience with Forms and/or Application Server?
