I am trying to get the OS/2 version of Gupta SQLGateway for Oracle 
to actually work.  I am running ver 1.1.6.7 of SQL*Net TCP/IP to talk
to a remote oracle 6.0.27 database (running on a SUN Sparcstaion).  
SQL*PLUS has no problem communicating from OS/2.  However, the gateway 
refuses to connect, it claims it can't spawn ORAGW0.  

The people at Gupta tell me I need a file called ORA6.DLL, which they
claim is an Oracle product and therefore not their problem.  I can 
not find this on any of the Oracle OS/2 product disks we have, they are all 
version 5.1c.  I was told 5.1c is the latest release of Oracle for OS/2 
though it sure sounds like ORA6.DLL is a version 6 file.

My questions are:

	Has anyone ever actually seen a Gupta gateway to Oracle work
	on OS/2?
	
	Does anyone know anything about this ORA6.DLL file?
	
	How can a company like Gupta sell a product and not tell me
	(or even seem to be able to tell me) EXACTLY what I need to
	run it.
