   	Sorry, Custom Software Systems was sued by AT&T for copyright
  infringment and is no longer in business.  Rather a shame as they did
  have a pretty good vi for MS-DOS.  I do not know the deatails but I 
  do know that they no longer have a phone and my USmail goes unanswered.
 

The best one I know of is from Mortice Kern Systems -including their MKS
toolkit. Talk with Gerry Wheeler for ordering particulars. - Out of
Canada. 

 ... uunet.UU.NET!watmath!mks!wheels

MKS has support people online to the net !!!!

Price is around $120 bucks.

Could also check in with comp.ibm.pc for freebees
