DOS vs. Unix

The Dos and Unix operating systems have very similar workings. The reference manual page (man man) in the steel directory, allows you to better understand how to get around the directory itself. It gives you commands that allow you to access different things in the database. The Dos counterpart could possibly be their directory or dir. In order to delete files in Unix, one must type in rm and the file that needs to be removed. However, the much easier to remember prefix for Dos is DEL and then the file needed to be removed. So far, Dos seems a much easier operating system to work with. But, once one gets into the much easier commands such as those that make and remove directories, Dos and Unix are exactly the same, mkdir in order to make the directory and rmdir to remove the directory. In Dos however, there is a different command besides rmdir and mkdir in order to perform these actions. One could also utilize the RD (remove directory) and MD (make directory). So personally, I find that the Dos operating system is much more user friendly and much easier to use.
