Er, so how did you find the symbols in orasql8.dll then?

Does that work for you? And for other compilers?
Wouldn't orasql8.dll still need to be installed and listed on the
linker command line?

There might be a version number in the registry.

But since *very* few people would need the ability to
share database connections with ProC/SQLLIB code my preference
right now is to just disable it entirely on Windows and
only enable it on other platforms for Oracle >= 9.0.
