    I worked for a company that still supports a critical healthcare system that runs on Rocket U2 on AIX which is an evolution of PICK.

      It is so funny to hear about “critical” systems that run ancient OSes and I’ve supported my fair share of those environments. I did love AIX as well. Smitty (and F6) teaching me UNIX commands early in my career was a great help.

      Was Rocket U2 still written in Pick Basic?

        I think so? I think ours used UniVerse whixh used UniBasic and UniQuery. I never had to use it in anger, I was mostly focused on supporting a different thing written in VB6…
