Anyone have info on PICK OS, like a manual, or maybe the Generalized Information Retrieval Language System (GIRLS) paper, or even a copy of the OS?

That appears to be on the PICK/BASIC language used in PICK OS.
I am trying to find technical information on how PICK OS functions internally, specifically the GIRLS paper which is said to explain the theory behind PICK.

used it, never liked it, never saved a copy either.. it being an OS kind of kept me away from it as why on earth would I want my entire PC running that thing? yuck.

that said the people who loved it kept seperate machines for it... not sure if they ever made a windows version it went the way of dataflex.
