I have never played with PICK, but I have played with Prime "Information"
which is sometimes described as a PICK like operating system. I have a PC
version somewhere but in that form it is not a true OS. It is started as a
DOS application.

As someone else has said, not much use except for multi-user database
applications. The PC version is only a toy.
