  Not! :-)  The PICK operating system as well as the IBM System 38
  operating systems are both based on database structures rather
  than file systems.  The S/38's DBMS is now used in the AS/400
  and is better known as SQL/400.  NeXT may be ahead of the mainstream
  but they are clearly, in this case, relative latecomers.
