Sorry Vince, I didn't make that clear.
Unfortunately, I really don't want to pay for the Server, just the
client.:-)  BTW, thanks for all your Oracle on MPE help, but we won't be
needing it here at UTC.

After 24 months and way, way too much $$$ already spent, it looks like
we're more or less halting our migration to an Oracle based commercial
"integrated" application package (whose vendor will remain nameless) and
we'll be enhancing and webifying our (really it is more Jeff's) superior
in-house application on MPE using TurboImage.

Like the phoenix, another one rises from the dust...<grin>
