Todd points out that, "OraTcl relies on the Oracle install.  This means different things on
different platforms.

On unix, the ORACLE_HOME environment variable must point to a valid oracle
install.

On windows, the ociw32.lib file must be found in the WINDOWS search path.
In the past, I have had to place the oracle directory in the windows PATH
variable in autoexec.bat.  In later releases, the registry information was
sufficient to find the file."
