Forms 3.0 and Reports 1.5

Question

Hi everyone,
Will forms 3.0 and reports 1.5 work with Oracle 8.x.
If yes then how is it done.
If no then is there a way to convert forms 3.0 and reports 1.5
applications to forms 4.5 and reports 3.0 i.e. from a character
mode platform to GUI mode.
Thanx in advance

Hi there!
Now if you are upgrading to FORMS5 then you need to rename the
INP file to FMB and then run it through the genarator
(F5gen32). This does work because I use this technic.
