Following the OZ Machine documentation issue: How supplementary the two thesis
are? I mean, if both of them describes the OZ VM, there must be important
differences betwen them. I guess that both thesis must have diferent approaches
and interests. Which are such approaches? This is more important since the
Scheidhauer's Thesis is written in german and I don'r read german (and no more
documents about that thesis are available).

Thanks,

Jorge A. Pérez
