MKS is proud to announce the commercial availability on

MKS AWK (tm) (prototyping language)
MKS RCS (tm) (Revision Control System)

MKS is bringing its powerful UNIX System V.3 compatible pro-
gramming tools to the OS/2 environment.
Compatibility has been maintained between the DOS and OS/2
versions of these MKS products. Now software developers
using the MKS Programming Platform have sophisticated
development tools transparently available on both DOS and
OS/2 environments. This is especially important to the
increasing number of mixed DOS, OS/2 and UNIX development
groups.
Only the MKS Programming Platform provides users with a
smooth transition between all these disparate environments.
Other packages require users to engage in the expensive and
high maintenance task of converting between different tools
sets.
Now UNIX developers will have their favorite full-screen Vi
editor at their fingertips on OS/2. This editor, particu-
larly well-suited for programming tasks, will speed the
writing of new OS/2 programs or the porting of existing
software.
Similarly, the MKS AWK language is an excellent prototyping
tool for software developers. Common text manipulation and
data conversion tasks are easily accomplished with MKS AWK's
powerful pattern matching abilities. Both the large and
small model versions of AWK are available.
Lastly, MKS RCS will aid the tracking and management of OS/2
development projects - no matter how large or complex. MKS
RCS contains all the features needed by an individual user
or the largest corporate network in one low-cost version.
Because MKS RCS stores files on disk in the same easily
inspected ASCII form, these files are readily transferred
between DOS, UNIX, OS/2 and Xenix systems.
The OS/2 versions of these MKS software packages will list
for:
MKS AWK $179.00
MKS RCS $395.00
MKS Vi $199.00
