Yes, and the reason OS/2 is a real OS is because they didn't model the OS 
after another operating system.  DOS is still trying to be a half-assed 
unix
And i didn't say _look_ like it, i said it is like it.

The DOS interface (low level, like int 21h calls, etc) is very much so 
like UNIX.  It started out being more like CP/M and as the hardware 
progressed it has adopted UNIX things.  For example the use of file 
handles, and getting away from doing everything with BIOS calls
