[comp.sys.ibm.pc] MKS Gripes

laj@cuae2.UUCP (06/06/87)

Posters, PLEASE, when you are complaining about a missing feature in a product
or the product crashing your system, make it clear what version you are 
running and on what machine.  I have seen NONE of the problems with the
MKS Toolkit that have been described thus far.  I am running Release 2.1d
on both an AT&T PC6300 and an IBM PC.  I have found two nits, both of which
have been reported to MKS.

	1.  If you "cmp" two files, one of which is an extension of the
	    other (by appending data), cmp will give an error message
	    about hitting EOF on the first file, but will set the exit
	    code for a successful compare.

	2.  HERE documents don't work in the Korn shell.  A character (decimal
	    value 246) is inserted between lines. MKS has a fix available for
	    this and says that it is fixed in their upcoming release.
