You can do this using the DBMS_PIPES package. An example of how to do this is in the Oracle7 Application developers guide and also some guidelines are in

$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/dbmspipe.sql source file.

I have personally setup a demo for reading information from an Unix file by a Stored Procedure (callable from SQL*Forms), in my case the /etc/passwd file. If you would like to send you this, just send me an e-mail message.
