Oracle tech support. They were clear (my recollection of 
verbal phone conversion) that as of 8.1.7, "middle tier"
stuff would not run on the same NT server box as the database.

They said that I needed to read the (latest?) "middle tier" 
white papers to understand the new (as of 8.1.7) "middle 
tier web architectural" issues, which they said are 
"complex". :) Unfortunately I haven't had time yet.

This was in the context of a conversation about a new Win2k
server that we are setting Oracle8 up on, and I wanted to
know if it was still going to be possible to run the next
equivalent to WebDB on the same box as the database. I then
siad that it sounded like I was going to have to convert our
old Netware3 server to NT (Win/2000) in order to test the
8.1.7 and later "middle tier" web stuff. They said that was 
correct. so, it was specific answer, not just some general 
info.

Since the documentation you have apparently doesn't cover 
the issue, you probably ought to call Oracle tech support.
