I am doing a paper on the relative merits of MS-Dos and Mac OS, but I had a
hard time finding "computer science" books that analyzes the above two
systems in depth _as Operating Systems_(critical assessment of memory
management, job control, i/o, etc.), instead of the million how-to books out
there for business people.  Sorta like _the Design of Unix Operating System_
or _the Unix Programming Environment_.

(oh, are they unavailable because they are commercial systems and therefore
trade secret and unavailable to public?  I hope not.)

Thanks.
