If you are migrating from D3, I would recommend using UniVerse (even though I have more background with UniData). It is friendlier to Pick language features. You might be able to see from the Family Tree why it has more Pick in it than does UniData. In addition to their clean-room version of UniVerse, based on Prime Information, they bought a product that originated in the Pick thread of the languages and incorporated it into UniVerse. --dawn Dawn M.
