MKS is great. We use  the many of the routines every day.  The ksh that
is included is excellent.  We built some fairly sophisticated scripts to
automatically create makefiles given a list of directories in a file that
worked fine.  The other really great tool in the kit is their implementation
of vi, the most thorough and compatable look-alike that I've seen.
