I am trying to track this down for a buddy, any ideas, I know nothing about
C++.

Thanks,
Ethan

Our application currently has presentation programs written in Microsoft
Visual C++ that read Oracle Version 7.3.4 databases.  We have Oracle
Professional/2000 installed on 1 machine.  The Pro*C/C++ pre-compiler
provided by Oracle is the method we use to pre-compile our program.  This
pre-compile converts the EXEC SQL commands into C++ calls to incorporate the
Oracle Database functions into the programs.  Other methods I have found in
research is to use OCI or ODBC calls.  However everything I look at
indicates that we would need to rewrite our applications to utilize
additional include libraries as well as modify our  SQL calls to wrap them
with the appropriate language elements.

We wish to fully utilize the functionality of the Microsoft Visual C++
Professional Edition environment to allow each developer to use their own
machine to compile and unit test these programs.  However, I am unable to
get the pre compile process to work.  Pro C will not run on our machines if
it is not installed.  We get a "Incorrect environment variable.  Please
reinstall Pro*C/C++" message version error if we try to run the copy that is
on the compiler machine from our machine.  However, I can not install it
because Oracle 7.3.4 does not support Windows 2000 and the installation
process abends whenever I try to run it.  

What we are looking for is a method to compile, debug, and unit test using
C++ on our machine without getting rid of Pro*C/C++ and yet utilize each
developer's machine more to remove the load from our compiler machine.
