Oracle DBMS_RAND package install on NT

Question

How do you install the Oracle DBMS_RAND package on NT. Oracle 8i is installed on and NT box and I'm not familiar with the tools in this environment. Like - is there such a thing as svrmgrl? If there is then how do I get there on a Windows NT box?
Thanks for any input

I hope you are looking for the package DBMS_RANDOM (and not DBMS_RAND). It should already be installed. If you
do not see this package installed then you can run ${ORACLE_HOME}/rdbms/admin/dbmsrand.sql script to create
this package (you must run this script under user SYS).
Oracle8i should have SVRMGRL (Oracle Server Manager) installed (file SVRMGRL.EXE). You can go to DOS window and
type SVRMGRL at the DOS prompt to get Server Manager.
