I don't believe the system you are referring to is a Pick system. The Zebra
systems that ran Pick were produced by General Automation, not STC. Unless
of course, they were rebadged somehow.
I did a fair amount of operating system development to the Pick O/S for a
few of the vendors that produced their own implementations, so if it does
turn out to be a rebadged one, drop me a line and I'll give you any
assistance I can to get it up and running. I finally added two zebra's to my
collection, a 2820 and a 1750. I was intimately familiar with most of the
Pick vendors, and STC doesn't ring a bell anyways...
Also bear in mind that General Automation also produced a line of industrial
systems for process control and the like - those systems did NOT run pick.
