First of all, I am a loyal Oracle fan, I don't wish to be caught up in the 
feud over who is better.  Let's respect our differing opinions, be there any.

Currently Oracle on MS-DOS, 5.1x, is incompatible with Microsoft Windows 3.0. 
If you have heard any talk, and not foilware, nor vaporware talk, please let us here know about it.  I believe the only database product compatible with it is  Gupta, and it only runs on the MS-DOS, OS/2 platforms.  I want it to be      
connectible to more platforms than those.

Please pass any gossip you may have heard.  I know that they were having       
problems with running their database engine in protected mode, while having
windows running in protected mode.

Muchas gracias.
