We appreciate the plug.  However, I should clarify that the MKS Toolkit
is *not* an operating system -- it is a collection of Unix-like
utilities, including a Korn shell, that runs on MS-DOS.  While it makes
for a look alike environment, the user is still restricted to the DOS
file system (with DOS file names), and 640K of memory. 'Nuff said.
