I'm looking for a driver (odbc, ado...) that would allow me to develop a software (with Powerbuilder or C#...) for a windows client computer, that would access an Oracle Database installed on a VAX/VMS server (6.2 patch H3) : the problem is, the installed version of Oracle on the server, is 7.1.4.1 (with SQL*NET V1) ; I can NOT upgrade Oracle server (maybe install SQL*NET V2, but if I can avoid...).

I'm sorry, I think I can't help much. However, let me try: is Oracle 7.1.4 the only Oracle database installed on this server? Do you have, perhaps, 8.1.7 somewhere? If so, you might create a database link between those two databases, create a snapshot on 8.1.7 which would look at 7.1.4 and, later on, access that 8i database from your application.

Yes on the VMS server, there is only one Database ( 7.1.3), but we could install on a "gateway" computer an ORacle version 8.1.7 : but are you sure a database link could be created to access the VMS server with SQL*Net Version 1 only (I have read in ORacle doc. that you can not connect a node with SQL*Net Version 1 and a node with SQL*Net Version 2).
