Hello fellow PC users,

I am considering the purchase of either PC/VI or the MKS Toolkit and
would like to get some idea as to which package is better, and what
tradeoffs must made in choosing one over the other.  In particular, I
would like to know just how complete the implimentation of VI is in
each.  Also, in the case of the MKS Toolkit, does it contain lex, make,
and lint, and how would you rate the Korn shell that comes with it?

So far, the lowest prices I have found were: $99.00 (both of them) as
advertised by the "programmer's connection" in COMPUTER LANGUAGE, Vol.
4, Num. 5, May 1987.  Shipping is free.  Has anyone seen a better
deal?
