I certainly disagree with Tim Iverson. The MKS toolkit is well worth
the money. You get a large, consistent package of UNIX utilities, with
a very good manual. Besides the obvious, you get the Korn Shell
(great!), a code profiler, /etc/init and login so that you can
maintain separate accounts and logins, etc, etc. You also get good
telephone support, proper vi - well, you get the picture. Even though
I had Alan Holub's shell from DDJ and all the public domain stuff that
has floated around for years, I have dumped it all and switched over
to MKS.
