  We do not use Pick in our applications, so I can't say that I have a micro
  program to compare it to (a very nice version, under a different name, runs 
  on IBM PC's).  But for someone who is willing to take a hard objective look
  at it, its integrated environment and ease of applications development may
  be ideal for their requirements.  It's wide platform base may also be useful.
