Windows NT Directory Structure

The letters nn designate the version number of the product installed. For example, if you have installed Oracle7 Server for Windows NT version 7.3, the Oracle Installer creates an \RDBMS73 directory.

The subdirectories of ORANT contain the contents listed below. For Oracle7 Server for Windows NT, all .DLL and .EXE files and configuration variables have their version numbers appended. This convention allows you to maintain multiple releases of these items for backward compatibility. For example, the Instance Manager executable for version 7.3 is ORADIM73.EXE.
