CNBC reported that Cramer said that they must be afraid Zapata is after them.<g> What gives here? Perhaps just the first step towards Golden Parachutes? You know, first protect stockholders and then as an afterthought, "Oh yah, let's also protect management". o~~~ O

Oracle Lite database coming soon to PalmPilot By John G. Spooner and Mark Hammond, PC Week Online June 10, 1998 8:54 AM PT Oracle Corp. on Monday will officially announce plans to offer software that makes its Oracle Lite database compatible with 3Com Corp.'s PalmPilot and Palm III personal digital assistants. The company will roll out the software in two phases, starting this month, said Oracle officials in Redwood City, Calif. Phase One will consist of an Oracle Lite conduit. The conduit, a piece of code that allows data to be exchanged between the PalmPilot and a PC, allows data to be replicated with a client version of Oracle Lite on a PC. The PC can then synchronize the data with an enterprise database. Palm III 3Com's next-generation hand-held PC improves upon the wildy popular PalmPilot. The Oracle Lite conduit will be available in beta form this month. It is slated to ship in August, officials said. It will also be part of 3Com's Conduit Development Kit, Java Edition. Phase Two of the project will consist of a version of Oracle Lite, whittled down to 150KB, that will reside on the PalmPilot, allowing it to replicate directly with an Oracle enterprise database, officials said. It will be offered in the first quarter of 1999, they said. Oracle (ORCL) also plans to ship in August a version of Oracle Lite that works with Microsoft Corp.'s Windows CE operating system. Aimed at Windows CE 2.0-based handheld PCs, the software has been tested with devices from companies such as Hewlett-Packard Co. While a version for Windows CE for Palm-sized devices, such as Casio Corp.'s Casiopea E-10, is technically possible, Oracle has not yet made plans to address it, company officials said.
