The directory is a "user-supplied" value. AFAIR (last time i installed
an oracle-client myself is about 2 years ago (i never had to install a
server)) the "default" is/was something like: /oracle/OraHome1

My DBA collegues use a default of first 3 numbers without delimiters
ie: /server/oracle/920

When i connect to a server with sqlplus i get this:

- snip -
Connected to:
Oracle9i Release 9.2.0.5.0 - 64bit Production
JServer Release 9.2.0.5.0 - Production
- snip -

Oracle shows 5 numbers.

Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as
bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer
wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated,
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
