Re: ORACLE7 for Windows 3.1 Announcement

I've just attended a Client/Server exposition held here in Singapore and Oracle Corp was represented. They mentioned that, yes, Oracle7.1 for Windows (codenamed project X apparently) was scheduled to be released sometime last quarter this year. Let's hope this time it does not turn out to be vapourware cos' I'd certainly be interested in seeing it. Let me know if you hear anything else.
