Funny thing.  I had to review Oracle's DBMS for use in our Customer Service
department.  One thing that we needed was a Client/Server interface between
a PC and a UNIX platform using PC-NFS.  Windows 3 seemed the most acceptable
interface for the PC.  During a sales seminar I attended the Oracle 
personnel promised up and down that the Windows 3 interface would be 
available "soon".  If Oracle's idea of "soon" means, "oh, we haven't really
started it yet, but we're thinking about it", not a very honest way to
talk to your customers (current/future).
