Couple of years ago I took some Oracle classes and the
instructor let me borrow a
his Personal Oracle CD which I was able to install on my Win98
machine. Can't
remember what version it was except that it was one of the
earlier text-based
systems.

Does anyone know where to get a version of Personal Oracle I can
run on my new
WinXP machine just so's I can practice Oracle stuff while I'm
waiting to get a job?
I tried downloading an Oracle 8i file from Oracle.Com, but it
does not seem to want
to install itself on my XP machine.

TIA

Oracle 8i is not certified on windows XP. Even if yes, it must be
Windows XP Professional.

You can install Oracle8i on windows XP Home Edition, try like this:

1 - Copy your Oracle CD into hard disk in your
machine. For example Copy from oracle8i CD into C:\Oracle\ ...

2 - Search the two files named Symcjit.dll on the D drive (where you
have copied Oracle8i. You can found them in (example):

C:\Oracle\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30 \1
\DataFiles\Expanded\jre\win32\bin\symcjit.dll

or use search option in the c:\oracle directory to find 2 files
symcjit.dll to

3 - Rename this file (Example): symcjit_back.dll (make sure to find two
files and rename them)

4 - Execute the Oracle setup.exe from C:\Oracle\setup.exe
