I recently had a problem on my WinXP pc and a conflict with isqlplus. The HTTP
server would attempt to start isqlplus and fail. This was repeated several
times until the maximum number of restarts was reached. So the server started
writing "max # of restarts reached" to the error log...and did not stop. I
found it when the disk filled up with a 4G log file! I finally deinstalled the
3rd party software that was causing the problem.

This leads to 2 questions:
1) What is iSQL used for? (this is my laptop and mostly a work/presentation
machine)
2) In WinXP, I found a line in the file that says "include
C:\oracle\ora92\sqlplus\admin\isqlplus.conf". If I remove this line, will that
stop iSQL from starting?
