In addition to 9iAS R2 being "a terrible install", it is riddled with bugs and a total beast to get operational!
I'll give folks another example. If/when you HOST out from a 9i Form your Unix process environment is populated with about 18 environmental variables. The problem is that NONE of the following are defined; HOME, LOGNAME, PATH! So the poor process doesn't know who he is, which way is "home" and has limited ability to even find any executable; which make scripting a REAL challenge.

A complicated process further confused by poor instructions.
