I recently had about four hours to use the MKS Toolkit from
Mortis Kern Systems. This is Korn shell for DOS, with a large
number of utilities, such as vi, ls, df, du, od, etc. Being an
emacs user, I'm not real thrilled with vi, but it seems to be a
complete implementation (I am *not* a vi heavy) as far as I have
used it. The program which makes my day is cpio, which allows me
to move files to/from UNIX with minimum hassle and preservation of
mod dates for make use.

This is a solid product, and the UNIX SIG in upstate NY is going
to do a bulk purchase to get a discount.

Disclamer: just a user.
