LICENSE:
========
Please consult the License.TXT file for licensing information
and on how to register this application.


INSTALLATION:
=============
Copy the files in the distribution archive to a convenient directory.
Typically, I keep these files in a directory along with other small
Oracle utilities.


ORACLE CONNECTIVITY:
====================
All Material Dreams utilities access Oracle natively via the Oracle Call
Interface (OCI). The Oracle Call Interface is a component of the SQL*Net
or Net8 installation and consist of a set of DLL's.
No additional drivers or DLL's are needed to connect to an Oracle server.
All our utilities support most of the OCI versions by dynamically loading
the appropriate DDL's at runtime. The most current DDL will be loaded
automatically by evaluating the following list of supported versions:

The following OCI version are currently supported:
