Don't cite wikepeida as a source, professors frown upon it. use the direct links at the bottom of the page as sources.

Oh yeah I know, I will search for some .edu sites. I am actually in Information Systems Security.

Word. More info there than the actual article. It's a good starting point however. Just spent a few minutes fondling google to find some of that stuff...

OS/2, Unix.

Do Windows 3.x, Microsoft just stopped issuing licenses for it this past week.

I like DEC's operating system, the opcodes in it could vary in legnth as well as the instruction size, made it VERY difficult to code, but worked super effiecently

Wow...I had forgot about the DEC's. Now that you mention it...Zos for IBM's big iron would be an interesting os to do a report on. However, I don't know if info for that is plentiful on the web... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

That is not an OS, it is assembly code, they are 2 100% different things.

Correct, but it is the basis of DEC's operating systems.

That's true, just so he knows that if he chooses to do his report on it, going in talking about opcodes probably won't get him the grade he wants, lol.
