I vaguely remembered something called orasim, so I went looking for it.
I found http://oss.oracle.com/~wcoekaer/orasim/ which is dated from
2004, and I found http://oss.oracle.com/projects/orasimjobfiles/ which
seems to be a stillborn project.  Is there anything else I should know
about orasim?  ;-)
