That was probably a Reality system. That's the hardware I learned Pick programming on, though it was sold by Microdata at the time. McDonnel Douglass aquired Microdata at some point, I think in the late 80's. They may have renamed the OS after the aquisition, but it was still Pick. -John ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
