Carel, I know that. That was my first oracle version. I installed V4 on an IBM
PC/XT with WD 20MB hard drive and two 5.25 floppy drives which could
each hold 360k of information. Yes, you read it correctly. It was 20 MB
hard drive, not 20 GB. OS was the unforgettable DOS 3.0 and the graphic
card was called "Hercules". I don't know why was it called "graphic card"
because it didn't have any graphic. The first real graphic was CGA and then
EGA, VGA, XGA on PS/2 (IBM PS/2, not Playstation 2) and SVGA.
