Have a look at Oracle Call Interface (http://codeguru.earthweb.com/mfc_database/Osql10.shtml) It is basically a description of how to connect to Oracle using MFC/Windows. These are just wrappers for OCI. If you unravel the C++ wrappers, you will find a bunch of OCI calls. Just use these in your C program. I know it works from Oracle 7.3.4 upwards. I don't know about earlier versions of Oracle.
