The MKS Toolkit is everything they claim and more. I was losing my mind on a DOS project and was wondering how any person with a brain could actually use that environment. I ordered the MKS Toolkit to help save my sanity and it was wonderful. They provide everything to help make it look Just Like UNIX, and they have succeeded in a big way (for instance, they provide a useful "ps"). The documentation is *outstanding*. I could not live without this package. Steve -- Stephen J.

Has anyone used the MKS toolkit under OS/2? My experience with the DOS version is that it seems to do pretty well except where multitasking is requires (hence, no at-command, no '&' to run stuff in the background, etc). Does the toolkit use OS/2's multitasking capabilities to make it look even more like Unix?? hank
