The major advantage of MKS toolkit over Cygwin is that is uses the native
Windows %ENVIRNONMENT% storage for Unix PATH and $ENV{Vars} so that you can
launch native windows programs as well as shell scripts from the shell.The disadvantage of course is that it's not free in either sense. Which reminds me, I'm overdue to upgrade it. As to VI v Emacs, just remember that you have to use the built-in VI to configure EMACS the first time, so you'll never escape ;-) I use Emacs when it works (when properly installed on a unix box), and VI when it doesn't. On one Linux I'm using the VIM works right, so I use it. For color-coded editing of PERL on Win32, I like UltraEdit32, which is pretty cheap to register, and just works. It's like BBEdit for Wintel. I'll have to try Komodo some time ... Cheers, Bill aka N1VUX Charles Reitzel wrote: > use. The Cygwin/VIM is useless, having massive display errors.
