Thanks to all who helped.
Just for the sake of everyone else trying to figure this out, the steps that
a person takes to add the mapinfo user to Oracle 8i is outlined in the
Mapinfo Professional 5.5 book, on page 382 (Chapter 21). It would have been
nice to recap this information in the Easyloader documentation, just for the
record.
