Oracle Front-Ends

Hi,

This is a request for information.

I am currently working on a development project that uses Oracle. Up to now I have been using The Oracle Development Tools to develop the user interface. The development
so far could be described as an extended prototype. At this point in the project I have one last opportunity to change the front-end.

Therefore I am looking for any comments anyone one has for and/or against any front-end development tools for Oracle that they are using, have used, or will definitely use (this includes positive and negative comments, any comments on Oracle Tools vs others, and report generators that support postscript).

I think responses to me by EMail will be best, and I will summarise the responses and post.

Now a little about the system. I have a SUN running Oracle 6, the database only, so that it is working as an SQL server. I have many IBM PCs connected via ethernet who will be the clients. THe front-end *MUST* run on IBM-PC's either from DOS, Windows, or OS2. If the front-end runs from Unix, even better.

I should add that I am resonably happy with the Oracle Tools (except I must admit to not having used ReportWriter at all) as Forms would be one of the most functional form development environments I have used (except the difficulty involved interacting with DOS, which could be expected from an environment that is platform independent).

I would especially like to hear from anyone using the Advanced Revelation Oracle bond.

Many thanks.
