It is a pretty clean port of the Unix version. The whole toolkit is somewhere around $US 200. I think it is possible to get the toolkit unbundled, but getting the whole thing is probabably the most cost effective. It also includes a nice port of the vi editor and awk. A while back somebody (from MKS I believe) posted an 8088 assembler written in awk. You can run the korn shell from command.com (my choice), or if you are hard core, you can rig command.com to enter ksh directly and set it up for a login prompt. It isn't unix, but it ani't too bad. Add uupc (pc mail) from the net, and you've got a pretty neat environment. I think you can correspond with them at tookit@mks.UUCP. I case you wondered, I don't have any financial (or other) intereset in MKS. Only have used the product. --Bill
