provides three essential replacement utilities -- MKS Korn shell, MKS
AWK and MKS Crypt -- for Xenix and Microport users.

MKS Trilogy is delivered on DSDD 5.25" diskettes, (or 720K 3.5"
diskettes, please specify when ordering), accompanied by complete
technical documentation.

MKS Korn Shell

The MKS version of Bell Labs' Korn Shell provides the full power of the
UNIX System V.3 (Bourne) shell plus the most requested features of
Berkeley's C shell.

The MKS Korn shell offers:
*   command aliasing and tracking;
*   previous command history with editing and re-execution;
*   VI and EMACS command editing modes;
*   faster shell script execution;
*   shell variable arrays;
*   the ability to write shell functions;
*   arithmetic evaluation through the "let" command

MKS AWK

MKS AWK is a powerful, versatile first language for non-programmers and
a sophisticated data retrieval and report generation tool for the
experienced user.  It is a natural introduction to mastering the C
programming language.

Based on a sequence of concise pattern/action rules, MKS AWK allows
users to manipulate files for retrieval, transformation, reduction and
validation of data.

MKS AWK is fully compatible with the functionality described in "The AWK
Programming Language," by Aho, Weinberger, and Kernighan (Addison-
Wesley, 1987).

MKS AWK provides:
*   access to command-line arguments;
*   user-definable functions;
*   faster execution;
*   associative arrays and regular expressions;
*   multi-dimensional arrays;
*   an excellent prototyping tool for testing new algorithms;
*   selection of input and output streams;

MKS Crypt

MKS Crypt provides file encryption with the choice of using either the
UNIX compatible Engima rotor machine algorithm or the National Bureau of
Standards Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm.

The software, which is not copy protected, is shipped on either DSDD 5
1/4" or 720K 3 1/2" floppies.  Please specify when ordering.

MKS Trilogy comes with complete technical documentation to cover the
above commands.  This documentation is in a form that fits easily into
