    Just in the off chance you haven't run across it yet, you might want
    to check out "MKS Toolkit" by Mortis Kern Systems.  If you are a
    died-in-the-wool Unix hacker, its pretty hard to beat the set of Unix
    command utilities (including "vi", "ksh", "awk" and a whole host of
    others) that MKS provides in a quality fashion.  It ain't free, but
    IMHO its well worth it.
