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. Jim
