  It has, but don't let that stop you.

I just got a copy of the MKS Toolkit and I love it.  It is a very good
implementation of the korn shell.  I've run several csh scripts on it
and they do just fine.  History, aliases, etc, etc, etc.  I've forgotten
I'm running DOS even though all my DOS programs run under their shell.
I don't do much in the way of multitasking, or multiusing, so I don't
miss those unix attributes much.  You can also get help from them on
the net (an address comes with their stuff).  They're very prompt to
answer back and KNOW their stuff.

I highly recommend it.
