Gee, I thought advertising wasn't allowed on the net.  Just to give an
alternate point of view about those tools, many of them 
can be found in the Public Domain SOFTARE TOOLS, written in
pascal.  I don't know if anyone has ported them to MSDOS yet, but
I have seen the source code and it's written PASCAL/VS (IBM Mainframe)
I also know that a SOFTWARE TOOLS implementation is written in RatFor.

Now, I have never seen MKS toolkit, and there are functions on there that
are not in the SOFTWARE tools implementation, but I was just generally
offended that this newsgroup was being used for advertisement of a product
by the company as opposed to a consumer recomendation.

Of course, this represents my own opinion, not the university's or IBMs.
