OS/2 is oriented to drive letters, while Unix is oriented to mount points; 
while Unix does have drive information under /dev, it's not of concern to 
normal users. 

OS/2 doesn't have links and symbolic links, Not all Unix file systems have 
extended attributes.

AFAIK, OS/2 doesn't have threads.

The commands in OS/2 are very close to PC-DOS; they are very different from 
those in Unix. Similarly, the shells are very different. The only points of 
similarity are piping and redirection.

The design concepts are very similar. The leap from OS/2 to Unix is fairly 
simple. , multi-tasking to name a few. z/OS on the other hand has a radically 
different design philosopjhy.
