Hello Bob We are working with 8163 on NT and windows 2000 and the status is that they will help you find patches but will not backport or develop new patches for this release.

Does that meet your requirements? Yes, for sure they certainly do not make it easy. much akin to using the space shuttle to cross the street) I did manage to find the info though with your guys suggestions. Interestingly enough I entered desupported, desupported versions, version support all with no results... <sigh> What perplexes me now is the fact that Oracle Support told me on the phone that they don't support any version less than 8.1.7 on WIN2K server... I have 7.3.4, 8.0.5, 8.1.6.3 and now 8.1.7 from NT40 to WIN2K >From the documents on the web(below) it appears all platforms are treated equal, so?? I suppose I have to propose that question to the support tech again when I get them on the phone, now that I have the actual documents from their website. Below is a clipping from pertaining to the versions Im interested in. Thanks to all for pointing me in the right direction.. bob ############################################# Product: Oracle Server - Client, Enterprise Edition, Parallel Server, Personal Edition, RAC & Standard Edition Product Version(s): 7.3.4 Platform(s): Platform Version(s): ALL Platforms ALL Desupport End Dates: Error Correction Support (ECS): 31-DEC-2000 Extended Assistance Support (EAS): 31-DEC-2003 Extended Maintenance Support (EMS): 31-DEC-2002 Product Obsolescence / Desupport Information: Oracle Corporation announces the end of Error Correction Support for Oracle Server - Client, Enterprise Edition, Parallel Server, Personal Edition, RAC & Standard Edition version(s) 7.3.4 on the following platform(s): ALL Platforms, effective 31-DEC-2000.
