Hi,
does anyone have any experience of running the MKS toolkit and
vi on a T1000SE? How much memory does it grab ? Performance ?
Does anyone in the Bay Area know where to buy a copy of the above ?
Thnx,

How much memory does it grab ? Performance ? you bet. a great combo. Runs just fine. Here is a listing of my d: and a:/bin: a:/bin: ansi.ksh awk.exe basename.exe bundle.ksh cal.exe calendar.exe cat.exe cd.exe chmod.exe comm.exe comtoexe.exe cp.exe cpio.exe ctrm.exe cut.exe date.exe df.exe diff.exe dirname.exe du.exe echo.exe egrep.exe env.exe expr.exe file.exe find.exe fold.exe help.exe join.exe login.exe logname.exe lzexe.exe mkdir.exe mv.exe od.exe paste.exe pckscrn.com pg.exe pr.exe ps.exe pwd.exe rm.exe rmdir.exe sed.exe sleep.exe sort.exe split.exe sum.exe switch.exe tail.exe tee.exe test.exe touch.exe tr.exe tty.exe uudecode.exe uuencode.exe wc.exe which.exe xargs.exe d:/ autoexec.bat date.exe environ.ksh ls.exe sh.exe vi.exe I do not have the 2M card - if I did - all my mks tools would be on the ram drive... ctrm.exe is my terminal emulator, and lzexe.exe is a wonderful program that compresses executables making it possible to get all this on my 1.44Mb floppy and still have 700K left over. All the other tools from MKS. Notice that I try and keep sh, ls, and vi on the ram drive - they load faster that way. A quick chkdsk reveals: 1457664 bytes total disk space 65536 bytes in 6 hidden files 9728 bytes in 12 directories 888320 bytes in 137 user files 494080 bytes available on disk 655184 bytes total memory 378640 bytes free By removing TSRs I can get my free memory more in the range of 500K. a.schnable@att.com

I run MKS on my T1000SE. I also run the PCKwik tools that come with the T1000SE and also run Epsilon (Emacs clone) as my editor. I've pretty much crammed all I need into the T1000SE, but all I use it for is editing (and 123 sometimes). Works fine. I'm running low on ram disk space though, so I am thinking of the $500 2M Apricot upgrade. I like my setup just fine. Performance is fine. I have the high use MKS commands on RAM disk: cat, cp, grep, glob, ls, more, rm, with lower use ones on the floppy. I also have epsilon on the ram disk along with high use text files. --- glenn
