We did run PICK for a while, but it was in an LPAR - does that count as running as an operating system? It was a port so had to be compiled or assembled (whatever that process was called). That part happened so fast that the tester thought that it must have abended - but it hadn't. I think whoever was pushing the PICK environment went off the idea of running it in that way on a mainframe as it would have made it unnecessary to have dedicated machines which they also sold.
