And E-biz no longer needs jinitiator since many years have passed, so no
program you should tolerate still needs jinitiator. Unless you've got a
windows XP machine you've managed to keep around in a state where there
upgrade virus hasn't touched it. But that's a moot point because as soon as
you connect it to 'da 'net you'll probably get infected with multiple
upgrade bugs that will overwhelm your old chipset and nothing will work any
longer.

Now in real news, if perchance your software product is robust and
demanding, you probably need to configure java to have more than the
defaults for sizes and so forth. Ahmed Alomari is a peer of the realm at the
nuances of configuring java "stuff," so search him up (probably before you
have problems, rather than after.) They may well be additional java
configuration expertise on this list. Not me. I have a perfect track record
of getting that bit of the job handled by someone else.

From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinitiator), which has
references to real live Oracle sources:

In 2007 Oracle announced, that for the upcoming release of Forms version 11,
Jinitiator would no longer be needed[1]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinitiator#cite_note-1> [2]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinitiator#cite_note-2>  and that users
should migrate to the Sun Java plug-in.[3]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinitiator#cite_note-obsolete-3>  In January
2010, a product obsolescence desupport notice was posted saying that
JInitiator would no longer be supported and that all users should
upgrade.[4] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinitiator#cite_note-4>  Since
version 10.1.2.0.2 of Forms in 2010, Oracle began working closely with Sun
to completely phase out Jinitiator.[5]

Ok, trying to help a workmate.  Did some googling but can't seem to locate
the correct information.

Here is what she has and needs:

On my new laptop, I have Java 6 Update 29.  Below are the two add-ons that
I'd like to install in IE11.  I believe JInitiator will allow me to run
Oracle forms which will allow me to install the EXPeRT software (one of our
products).



So folks, where can I get ahold of these or how do I install just the
add-ons?
