- 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.
