Correct OCI Version

hi to all!

it's ages now that i'm looking for a
good method for determining the exact
oci version installed and/or used and
i'm still looking.

is there someone out there who has found "the" solution on how to correctly determine the used oci version and want to share
this information with us ?

do make it a little more clear what
i'm looking for:

since oracle 7.3 (i believe) the
oracle oci dll's do no longer need
to be linked with the exact version
name but a generic dll (ociw32.dll)
looks for the most current oci version
that can be found on the workstation.
this process is quite nicely described
in the oracle note "43972.1". so far so
good but by doing so, the application
using the ociw32.dll does no longer know what the exact version of oci is.
even if dynamically (LoadLibrary) loading the "low-level" oracle dll called by ociw32.dll
(e.g.. ora805.dll for oci version 8.0.5)
it would be possible to know that we are running 8.0.5 but this would no longer
work with 8i where all 8i oci versions
call the same dll named "oraclient8.dll".

thank you for your help
