"It's Kinda like Unix" = "has a command line interface". I think it's
more like VMS.

There is a Pick System called Reality X, which is very expensive and
"runs" on Unix. There are a number of hospitals in South Australia which
are running huge patient databases on this system and wish they weren't.
I have a set of Pick XT disks, which I can't get to install. Anyone know
any trick or have a set of disks that are known to work (while we're
off topic)?
