Toolkit 6.2

Rating:
Summary: Great for developers
Review: If you have worked with unix, you know the power and flexibility that comes with the unix instruction set. However, on the NT workstation/server platform, the ability to perform even simple tasks at a file or data level is very difficult/impossible. MKS toolkit gives you the power to perform almost any unix level command within the windows environment.

MKS comes with the VI editor, so you can perform all sorts of wild and crazy editing that is often required for system developers (adding ; to the end of every line etc). It also allows you to execute command level tasks like GREP, and simple things like TOUCH (very useful for web development). All of these commands can be executed from the DOS command line just as if you were in a unix shell (and this product also supports a number of shells)., or build a script and execute it from within windows.

In a word, MKS is a must for software developers who know unix, and need the same power on the windows platform.
