[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] MKS vi summery

dve@mace.cc.purdue.edu (04/03/91)

	Thanks to the good folks on the net who took time
	to reply to my previous question about MKS 'vi'.

	These people seem very satisfied with 'vi' and MKS
	products in general.

	According to their info, 'vi' is a VERY FAITHFUL
	inplementation of Unix 'vi' on the DOS or OS/2 machines
	with virtually no file size limit (64*1024 lines max).
	Just about every thing is good.

	These good folks, however, also recommand buying the
	MKS Toolkit instead almost uniformly. The Toolkit contains
	'vi', 'awk', 'sort' etc, no less than 100 Unix commands
	and especially the 'KornShell' which is supposed to be
	like the Unix C-shell to replace 'command.com'.

	According to MKS, all their products have 30-money-back
	guarantee no matter where you buy. MKS has an 800 number and
	their people seemed nice.


	Source of order:
		Programmers Paradise:
			MKS 'vi'	$125
			MKS Toolkit	$199
		CompuClassic		
			MKS 'vi'	$139 (Who cares!)

	I'm going to order the Toolkit today.
	Thanks a lot.

	Zhou
