Since I have had a couple of requests for this: the review was an
internal document done by the control systems group at Fermi National
Accelerator Lab in Batavia, IL.  I believe it was done about three
years ago now (that was when I was there and I think it was new when I
saw it) and compared pSOS, VRTX, OS9 and others (I think).  By now it
is probably outdated.  I do not have a copy and can not give any more
detailed pointers on how to get a copy.
