I expect you can forget anyone posting such to this newsgroup for
several reasons:
1) 8.1.7 is desupported.
2) 8.1.7.0 is no longer available for download and, I imagine, for sale
through any Oracle sales office (this, of course, you know).
3) To arrive at 8.1.7.4 from 8.1.7.0 requires a patch from Metalink,
and postiing such violates any support agreement between Oracle and the
party you would like to have post such an item, meaning, no one is
about to post any patchset from Metalink here, whether it is available
or not, simply to throw away a perfectly good support contract.
4) The size of the distribution makes it almost impossible to 'post'
here, much less anywhere else.
5) You provide no valid reason for wanting this particular release.
Your idea of this newsgroup supplying software to those who want it is
in error. You MAY be lucky and find an Oracle Sales representative who
has a copy of the 8.1.7 distribution and will sell it to you. And that
may be the only way to obtain this software (unless you happen to find
some friend of yours still running it and who has the original software
distribution).
Contact Oracle Sales in your area. And stop posting your wish list
here.

Try finding a book on Oracle 8i that includes a CD. You'll (hopefully)
end up w/ EE or PE (personal edition).
I'm in the same boat; I've found myself working on an ancient project
that's still using this arcane version of Oracle (can't upgrade; I can't
make that decision, it's up to the customer), and go figure -- I chucked
all my copies of 817/EE/NT about a month before I got recruited to go back
to that project! :(
Murphy works in mysterious (though always painful) ways! ;)

Sales and/or support are bound to have CD's of elder versions
lying around.
I made a few copies in my time with support, when Sales had their
side covered. Costs usually were cost of material & shipping, once
the license issue(s) was/were covered.
