Abstract
For some time 32-bit machines have been a hot topic in the world of PCs. It seems that more powerful operating systems: will soon be displacing DOS. At least in the professional literature, lively discussion is raging about which operating system will assert itself as the future standard. Two alternatives seem to be emerging for the domain of server operating systems: Windows NT, and UNIX variants such as Solaris 2, UnixWare (Novell), and NextStep. In this context OS/2 plays no significant role since it is seen more as a competitor to Windows in its current version and future 32-bit versions.
