Anyone who would look for C-shell clone under MSDOS must be the kind of
person who would look for way to merge his Edsel and VW bug!

MKS offers a very reasonable Korn (ksh) shell for MSDOS (and Xenix).
Overall, its a bit like fuel injecting an Edsel. On the one hand, you
have to admire the technical expertise. On the other hand, you have to
wonder, "Gee, just think what they could have done with a Porsche!"

Disclaimer: I bought MKS out of pocket. The value/buck is, in my
opinion greater than any other piece of MiSerable DOS software, bar
none.
