UNIX vs DOS/OS2 for applications development in C

[Sunil Gangwani]

How can I convince my boss to buy UNIX workstations (maybe a small
LAN) instead of DOS or OS/2??

Soon, we will start on a project to develop applications programs
for the investments community in NYC.  A major chunk of our code
will (most likely) be in ANSI C so that our programs are portable
to the maximum extent.  Machine dependent or Op Sys dependent
code can be added on later.

Could someone give me any pointers to where I can go about looking
for info on future Op Sys, why UNIX is better, etc...
The point here is which system should we buy for the development
process, regardless of where the final product is going to go.

I'd appreciate any replies in the group or sent to me directly.

Thanks
