Has any one used a shared client install for Oracle? We have one for Sybase but we are moving to Oracle. If so how did you do it? Thanks Steve

Has any one used a shared client install for Oracle? We have one for Sybase
but we are moving to Oracle. If so how did you do it?
We have a shared Oracle client for all of our users. We have this for our 16-bit and 32-bit client.
I don’t know all of the specific details, but this is the general idea that we followed:
For the 32-bit, our Oracle DBA and/or our network adminstrator (we user Novell) installed the Oracle client on our server. They created a couple of *.reg files that will make some registry entries on the users PC. There is a group set up on our Novell server that will map a drive (I think it is a search drive) to the directory with the oracle client.
For a user to have access, we have the network administrator make the user a member of this group on our network. Then we simply run the *.reg files at the user’s PC to make the registry entries, and they are all set.
