DLL access from forms

        ORA_FFI is OK for simple interfaces to the API's. However if the API arguments do

        not "match" well with PL*SQL datatypes then you may have problems, especially

        as some of the WIN 32 API long constants are very large Integers indeed. If this is

        the case write wrap around functions in C++ with greatly simplified Interfaces to your

        Forms application. Slight loss in flexibilty but it works.
