MKS utilities

Thompson Toolkit, from Thompson Automation  503/224-1639

Hamilton C Shell


Of the three, I recommend Thompson Toolkit.  $180 for the utilities, both
real mode (DOS) and protect mode (OS/2 native).  I use it.  No vi, though.

Hamilton C Shell is a professional product specifically written to exploit
OS/2 to the fullest.  Protect-mode only, $350 list price.  No vi.

MKS utilities treats "c:foo" as exactly identical to "c:/foo", which makes
it, IMHO, unusable.  The MKS vi is a very good product, and available
separately from the rest of the MKS Toolkit.
