	We are currently in the process of evaluating possible alternatives
for our News Archival System in the future.  In particular, the PICK
database/operating system as implemented by IOS Inc. on C.ITOH hardware is
under consideration.  In the past, we have used PICK on a Honeywell
with support from Ultimate.  This configuration is now obsolete.
	The following items/issues are of interest to us:

* Opinions/Comments/Experience/Recommendations on PICK related products and
  on PICK itself
* ...on IOS
* ...on C.ITOH (CIE Systems)
* ...on Ultimate
* How "open" a system is it for the future?  ...possibilities for growth?
* Connectivity with DEC VAXes (Ultrix, VMS), Suns, and other UNIX machines
  via Ethernet, tcp-ip, etc.

	If you or anyone you know is familiar with these issues,
***PLEASE*** send me e-mail or call me.  I'd be very interested in
their experience(s) and opinion(s) with regard to this matter.
	We appreciate any info/help.
Rex

That is the NBC News Division's system for its database archives.
(This does *not* refer to USENET's archives.)
