- I've seen OracleCard demonstrated on a MacIntosh computer. I assume that the
- appearance is the same or similar on Microsoft Windows.
-
- I also have glossy release sheets describing SQL*Forms 4.0. From what I can
- tell, it will also be available on other windowing systems such as X-windows
- (Motif, OpenLook), which is what interests me. I've also been told (but not by
- Oracle) that OracleCard is going to be available for X-windows in the future.
- Can anyone comment on whether that's true or not, and when we might see either
- of these products on the market?
