GODFREY, Illinois, Dec 10-- The Orasoft team is happy to announce
the official stable release of the Oracle Applications for Linux
suite.  We believe that it is the most advanced database software
available on the Linux platform for using and managing Oracle
databases.  The graphical applications use the GTK widget set and
are released under the GPL.  Source code and RPM executable are
located at the Orasoft website (http://oracle.mattshouse.com). 
Included in the suite are the following applications:

Procedit - A visual procedure/function/package editor.
SqlWork: - A database querying tool similar to SQL Worksheet.
Session Monitor: A DBA snooping tool to view user activities.
TableBrowser - A table viewing/manipulating application.

The release follows a lengthy beta period in which over 1000
people participated.

Version 3.0 of the suite was released Dec. 9 and is now available
for free (RMS) download.
