Staffware on Oracle - deletes are hanging...

Hi all.  

Anyone that is running Staffware out there on Oracle 8.1.7 - please help me out here.
This is urgent.
We are trying to delete 70 000 rows from a table - via Staffware, so that we can do a restore - via Staffware.
This seems to take over 10 hours, and still does not seem to complete. If I do a truncate table it takes a few seconds, but via Staffware it just hangs...  

Any idea's?  

Thanks  

Clint
