There was a variant of Visicalc/Lotus that was part of the data base management software marketed by The Ultimate Corporation and a few other competitor database management products that were based on the Pick multi-value file architecture. The companies existed in the mid-70's to the early 00's. There are non-related current companies by the same name. One reference is: http://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/access/text/2013/04/102723447-05-01-acc.pdf. The DBMS software ran on multi-user (2 to hundreds) mini-computers before personal computers and front-end workstations became popular, and having a spreadsheet variant was critical for business users. Oddly enough, this software ran on dumb terminals and emulated the spreadsheet features more than adequately. 2603:6010:3242:1700:5162:AF7C:EC77:311E (talk) 01:03, 14 January 2021 (UTC)Marco M.
