The 11g client is incompatible with 8i database and I really need to generate the code for dozens of stored procedures and functions from the 8i database.

Manually putting the code back together from dba_source wasn't exactly my plan, but I can do it if I have to.

The 10g client did work against an 11g database until I tried to connect to the 8i - then it doesn't work for anything any more.

Is there any way to make it work ?
