I ordered a copy via uucp
ihnp4!watmath!mks!toolkit   (with a VISA number)
because they noted in one of their ads in *UNIX World* that they take
orders via uucp. Took about fifteen days to get the order.
I would be interested in corresponding by email with other users of
the toolkit. It's an impressive subset of UNIX system V and runs
very well on PCs. You can run it with Sidekick if you're careful,
there are several sample configurations given, and you can even
maintain multiple environments for different projects.
I have sent them a bug report though because "find" does not seem
to work when current directory is root. I haven't banged on the
toolkit enough to know if there are other bugs. The "vi" that
comes in the toolkit is very fast and nice and supports the PC
cursor control keys.

 Of course MKS is a borderline topic for this newsgroup and might be better
in one of the UNIX newsgroups, I guess.
