Actually, it was always classes12.zip and ojdbc14.jar. Oracle had JDBC
drivers before the "jar" file spec was ever written, and then they stuck
to that zip file name for FAR too long. Lots of people renamed that
file for deployment to be a jar file, because many custom class loaders
(like Tomcat's) couldn't find that file when it had the .zip extension.
