Don,

For reasons that I am sure are of very little interest to the people on this list,
we have dependencies on Java 1.1.8 for some of our products, in particular the
installer and configuration applets.

Since there are no plans by anyone to provide Java 1.1.8  for IA-64, we were
hoping that we could use the 32 bit version of the JRE for installing and
configuring Oracle on IA-64.

By the way, I was not really planning on running Oracle, although that may be a
good test of the functionality of the compatibility environment.

Regards,
