Cameron, you may want to check out http://www.openqm.org. It's a
commercially available and open source MultiValue database system that
works really well. The source should tell you all you'd ever need to
know about Pick. :)

Codd: Going
from VERY foggy memory here, but I do remember personally taking
the Codd rules/tests and applying/satisfying them one at a time with Pick.
Pick did meet the Codd published rules for being considered a relational
database. But did Codd people look at Pick is the question - on that, I have
no clue, but I'd be suprised.
Multivalues - that right there is the magic of Pick. Not just that they
supported it, but how artfully & easily they supported it because of the
design. That's what made Pick phenominal.
I have not found a good resource on the Pick language or the Pick virtual
machine, other than a lot of name-dropping commercial sites. Any
recommendations?
