I'm doing a comparison of OS/2 and UNIX as software development platforms.
At the moment, I'm still doing the research and was wondering if anyone
out there has seen or done a similar comparison. If so, would you be
kind enough to share it with me? I'm particularly interested in these
areas:
Software Tools
Kernel APIs
Windowing Systems
Price
Device Drivers
Thanks in advance for your help.

This is a collection of unix tools (vi, grep, awk etc ...) that has been ported (re-written ??) to OS/2. This has enabled me to make the transition from unix code development to OS/2 development relatively painless. MKS (Mortice Kern Systems Inc.) can be reached at (519) 884-2251.
