[Zope] DCOracle for 8.1.5 (8i)

[Anthony Baxter]

DCOracle works against 8i. You just have to fiddle the Setup 
script to get the link libraries right.

It doesn't use some of the new neato whizzbang 8i features, but
if that sort of early-adopter stuff is what you need, that's where
you pay them to add it.

I'm using it against an 8i database every day.

Anthony.
