Hello I need a .NET provider for Oracle with Unicode support. (I need
to view Asian characters)

1) I have tried the .NET Oracle Data Provider, but unfortunately I am
not using Oracle client version 8.1.7 or above. We are using
8.something, but it is not supported by this Provider. As a result, I
get exceptions when I try to use this provider.

Upgrading the client is NOT an option.

2) I have tried the .NET OleDB Provider for Oracle, but it does NOT
have Unicode support. Why is this? The .NET OleDB Provider for SQL
Server has unicode support and it works beautifully with Korean,
Japanese characters... I wonder why the provider for Oracle cannot do
this.

Are there any other options I have not looked at, or am I out of luck?
