• W84052810 abstract "MKS Toolkit: UNIX Tools on a PC. Mortice Kern Systems Inc., 35 King St. North, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2J 2W9; information: (519) 884-2251; orders: 1-800-265-2797. Price: DOS version, $249 for a single-user license. System requirements: PC with 8088 processor or faster, 256K RAM, DOS 2.1 or OS/2 1.2 or higher; hard disk with 24.5 MB free space, depending on options chosen upon installation. MKS Toolkit is a package of more than 160 utilities that provides DOS-based computers with UNIX capabilities. Not only does Toolkit include UNIX utilities like more, grep, cat, sort, alias, and sed, but the package also provides a programmable UNIX shell (specifically, the Korn Shell) and a programming language, awk, designed for handling text. MKS Toolkit does not replace DOS with a UNIX-like operating system; rather it provides a UNIX shell on top of DOS. MKS Toolkit also will not turn a PC into a UNIX-like multitasking and multiuser workstation. MKS Toolkit is relatively easy to install; the installation manual gives detailed instructions for both automated and manual installation. The latter option allows the user to go through a list of Toolkit's utilities and choose which ones to load. On a 286 PC, automatic installation took under fifteen minutes; however, this fast installation was the result of opting not to take several minutes to install the spell checker or to run a program that checks all the MKS Toolkit commands against the available DOS commands and warns the user of potential confusion resulting from identical command expressions--a ten-minute procedure on the reviewer's 286. The installation manual also treats the various configuration options. The user may choose from options that range from having some Toolkit commands available at the DOS C: prompt to running the UNIX Korn Shell as the default shell, with login and password required after bootup. DOCUMENTATION In addition to the installation manual, documentation includes a User's Guide, which gives tutorials on the vi screen editor, programming the Korn Shell, and using the programming language awk to manipulate text files and generate reports. Commands are also treated in summary fashion in the User's Guide. The Reference Manual provides detailed information about each utility. It lists all the options available with each utility, examples of usage, related environment variables and commands, and variations found with different versions of UNIX. As Mortice Kern Systems has attempted to make Toolkit compliant with POSIX, an evolving international standard for UNIX systems, the Reference Guide lists the status of the utilities' conformance to this set of standards. The information provided in the Reference Guide is essentially identical to that provided in the online manual. The reviewer found the print reference faster and easier to use than the online version. The utilities grep, egrep, and fgrep can be used to search terms or expressions across a file, multiple files, directories, or entire disks. The three closely related utilities have identical options, allowing a wide range of search strategies and output formats. Combining the grep family of utilities with other Toolkit commands into one shell program (see below) allows one to develop customized information-retrieval programs. MKS Toolkit includes two file-compression utilities: compress and pack. These tools are useful in compacting directories and files, especially those files and directories not used regularly. Each of the tools has a corresponding decompression technique: uncompress and unpack. Compress tends to achieve a higher level of compression than pack. Testing compress on a 66K directory containing seven text files, the resulting compressed directory was only 34K in size, occupying 48 percent less disk space. When tested on the same 66K directory, pack resulted in a compressed directory size of 40K, yielding 39 percent compression. …" @default.
