I will second that.
I know nothing about Pick. I don't own a machine that runs it, and have
no immediate intention to get one. But I have been reading this thread
with grad interest. You never know what useful tips you'll pick up by
reading about other machines. Quite apart from the fact that I am, I
guess, interested in all classic computers really.
I would much rather on-topic stuff (and I believe this machines is over
10 years old, isn't a Wintel box, etc) stays on the list rather than be
taken to private e-mail.
In fairness to this forum,
which has been patient with this, you should probably attempt to get a
response from the usenet forum, comp.databases.pick. there are still
original developers who may have been at adds still there from time to
time, or lurking. If you wish to take this offline, I'll continue to help.
My 0.02USD:
As a member of this forum who doesn't own a Pick system and never
plans to own one, I have not been "patient with this thread", but
extremely interested in it, and I hope Dave continues to report on his
progress. I'm not sure what this mailing list's
purpose *is*, if it's not
exactly this sort of dialogue.
Sure. If this list turns into a place where you can ask questions, but
replies come by private e-mail to the questioner only, then I am leaving.
