   It may be time to hit the manuals to catch up on the recent changes.   
   The init.ora file (which is officially known as the pfile) is being   
   superceeded by the spfile!   
      
   Direct answer to your question - if you set up the database to use the   
   init.ora it will be found in the usual place.  Default config now is to   
   use the spfile.   
      
   Major hint - do not edit the spfile!  Likelyhood of making the file   
   unsuable (and therefore the database unavailable) is very high if you   
   edit the file directly.
