Subject: OS/400 topics

Hello, I'm looking for technical data on the OS/400.
 
I would like to know how does it compare to mainstream OS, if 
it is a batch processing system or interactive, and a little 
bit about his heritage.
 
Some of the information that I need deals with the Name and 
type of Kernel, Process Scheduling, Scheduling Algorithms and 
Policies (Pre-emptive, Non Pre-emptive), Critical Sections, 
Mutex and Semaphores, Managing Tasks and how they are applied 
into OS/400. It is a real challenge to find information on 
these topics. I only know that QJOBSCD is the Job Scheduler.
 
I have already e-mailed IBM and received an uncomplete 
answer. I know it is very difficult (almost impossible) to 
have some of this information. However, it would be very 
appreciated if you can at least answer one of these 
questions, or refer me to someone who knows about it. You are 
one of my last hopes.
 
Thanks very much to anyone that answers, 
 
N. Wong
