Actually, on my original install, it went one level up from ORACLE_HOME - e.g, ORACLE_HOME was /dsk001/app/oracle/product/8.1.7; the OraInventory,oui,jre went into /dsk001/app/oracle/product - one level up. Since that's where I tarred/untarred to on the new machine, I should have the installer info - at least it appears there. All seems to work fine. I'll keep an eye out when/if patching! Much and Many thanks for all the responses, I'll sleep easier.
