Mike,

	I have the MKS Toolkit and I am very happy with it.  It is available
from:
 
Mortice Kern Systems, Inc
35 King Street North
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada  N2J 2W9
(519) 884-2251
UUCP: ...!uunet!watmath!mks!inquiry

	Basically it is a toolkit of unix utilities (grep, vi, awk, ls,
etc...) that work on DOS machines.  They are very nice if you spend a lot
of time each day on both DOS and unix machines.  I got it from a mail order
company called Software Central on a company discount since I use it at
work.  I found it very much worth the price.
