 Oratcl 2.7 is available from the Ajuba CVS repository

  *-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  * Version 2.7 August, 1999
  * -use Tcl_Obj type constructs for all commands
  * -2 new functions available in tcl as
  *      oraldalist - return a list of all opened ldas
  *      oracurlist $lda - return a list of all opened curs for an lda
  *  -   Oratcl_Fetch (orafetch) returns the correct number of spaces
  *    between columns.  Because of Tcl list operations, this is still a
  *    valid list.
  *  -   Oratcl_FetchAll changed extensively.
  *        handle both of the following properly
  *        orafetch $cur {} {} foo 1 bar 2
  *        orafetch $cur {} {} {foo 1 bar 2}
  * -Greater tuning of the evaluation string.  No calls to strcpy, bcopy,
  *  for memset are used to find the replacement columns.

 Oratcl 2.7 still uses Oracles OCI7 and is compatible with both Oracle 7 and
 8.  It has been tested against 7.3.4, 8.0.4, 8.1.5, and 8.1.6.

 A great deal of performance has been achieved using Tcl_Obj structures and
 in memory management.

 This version of Oratcl will not work with TCL < 8.0

 ** Oratcl 3.0 is under development at this time and will use OCI8
 exclusively and will also use Tcl_Obj.  Interested parties in a preview
 should contact me directly.  Fell free to submit bug reports and feature
 requests as well.
