Ibm had a distribution of the Pcode and UCSD pascal
that came in the same beige / pink boxes that Dos was
in. I have that set.
Pick started out with support on the PC for the XT
and followed with their "classic" virtual port thru
a release called R-83M.
Licenses are not transferable, but if you find a site
with the disks, you may be able to reinstall if you
get all their notes. They may not be sold directly,
so you should doubt authenticity of sale of anything
but current product.
Pick is now "Raining Data" and was merged with a rinky
dink company that made a Mac database called Omnus.
The current powers that are there are trying to get
the most from the Omnus side of the business, which
has been turned into yet another company that ran
amuck and decided to put out the end all "4th gl"
development package other than do their original
product.
Pick / Raining data support a release which predates
the merger called D3.
Concurrent with the R83 Pick Pc releases, there was
a lot of work on another system by Pick which was
called Open Architechure, and later Advanced Pick,
and finally after porting from a standalone install
to a release that runs on top of various host Unix
type OS/s now D3. I think there is a standalone
D3 available with limited driver support.
the hosted version also runs on most Server type
windows systems as well. I am sure someone from
the pick community can correct this posting if need
be.
It became an impossible task to support all the
hardware
variants that exist as a standalone bootable system
since driver code is never been designed to be OS
independent. So the OS that dominates (now MS, in
the past Unix and MS) gets the support from the
hardware people and all the Pick / Beos / whatever
OS's get screwed unless they are very limited to the
generic support.
for more Pick info or questions better answered by
current players, please see usenet group
comp.databases.pick
which is inhabited by a nice group of developers
and users most of the time.
I know there are UCSD pascal usenet groups, but I
don't know the current state of the groups, they
may be zombies, dead, or taken over by weirdos.

Dear Mr. Fuller
Please let me introduce myself:
My name is Jaap van der Horst and I live in Belgium. One of my friends is
desperately looking for DOS 3.0 or higher.
I am not very good at working the net but I believe you did sent out a msg
expressing the same request. Should you meanwhile be in possession of this
operating system could you please let me know how we can obtain a copy.
Thank you and kind regards,
Jaap van der Horst
Am at a loss as to where to look for help on this one.
Recently aquired a Gridcase 1520 for some old DOS programs that I still need
to run to interface with some machine PLC's.
Need to boot from the "A" drive because the software can't be installed on
the "C" drive.
HOW DO I GET TO THE BIOS SETTINGS?....
I've tried all the normal stuff, CTL.S, ALT.S, etc., but nothing I do
works......
(Have also tried to swing a cat over my head three times while facing east,
but that only resulted in a clawed arm on my part!)
Thanks in advance..............
Kathy,
I wonder if you still have the Xerox 6085 software. Mine wants me to scavenge
the volume using the disk, VP Scavenge. Do you have it?
I would also be interested in the 6085 and the 4045 printer, if they're in
good working order.

i have an SX64 with a dead monitor, can anybody point me in the direction of a schematic?
there seems to be schematics of the logic section around, but i cant find the monitor sheets :(
I have the motherboard (1xVME) and "Mesa" graphics boards (3xVME) from a
6800 Series if anyone wants them. Free, you pay shipping or collect.
Please forward this to anyone you know who is interested in Intergraph
computers - thanks!
Boards are located in UK.

I recently re-discovered about 2.5 hours worth of audio tapes I recorded
in 1985 (mostly at NCC in Chicago), including interviews with Roger
Melen (Cromemco), Maury Goldberg (MiniMicroMart), Carl Helmers (Byte
Magazine) and a lecture by Roger Amidon (TDL). In the interviews, I was
trying to get info on the pre- and early Altair days; I wasn't always
too successful, but the diversions are interesting as well. The one that
hurt the most was Helmers asking me if I had spoken with Gary Kildall.
Gary was in attendance and promised to talk with me but he never showed
up at the appointed time.
I've copied the tapes as mp3's but there is still about 144 MB of
material. What's the best way to share this material? I'll post them to
my website if people want to download them but that's a lot of stuff. If
you want a CD, you can send me $5 via PayPal to cover materials and
postage and I'll burn copies and mail them to you (outside the US at
whatever the postage costs).
I'm on digest so you may want to reply to me directly.

Hello Chris,
I understand that you have an installation manual for the BOGEN model CHS-60A
Amplifier. I would like to know if you could share it with me?

Hello Glen,
I'm searching for the Software for the HP 10342. I have read your posting from
Dec 26 08:12:15 2002
Could you please send me the .zip, too
There was another posting about the manual for the 10342B. Did you or s.o.
else publish it? I've manuals for all components of my LA and Preprocessor
except for the 10342...
If noone published it, can you tell me how to setup the S3 and J5 on the
board?
Thanks
Simon Ulbrich
