My impression was that this product was no longer on the market. Now, I almost hate to say this, because I know ten thousand others are going to also, but... The MKS Toolkit offers a very nice, very complete VI re-implementation, along with about 100 other UNIX System V utilities, at a pretty fair price. My favorite tools were probably the ksh re-implementation and the awk interpreter. The shell had some problems with Novell networks, but apart from that was pretty reliable and very faithful to the original. Send e-mail to mks!toolkit or look in any programmer-oriented publication that pays much attention to PC's for their ads. I don't use their products anymore, I changed jobs and now have a real machine (Sun-3 -- well, okay, sort of real) on my desk... ;-) -Antonio Romero romero@confidence.princeton.edu
