MKS is proud to  announce  the  commercial  availability  on
March  1, 1989 of the OS/2 versions of the following members
of the MKS Programming Platform.

     Available March 1, 1989

     MKS Vi (tm) (full-screen UNIX editor)

     MKS AWK (tm) (prototyping language)

     MKS RCS (tm) (Revision Control System)


     Available 2nd Quarter 1989

     MKS Toolkit  (UNIX utilities for OS/2)

     MKS LEX & YACC  (compiler construction tools for OS/2)

     MKS Make  (automatic program builder for OS/2)


MKS is bringing its powerful UNIX System V.3 compatible pro-
gramming tools to the OS/2 environment.


Compatibility has been maintained between the DOS  and  OS/2
versions  of  these  MKS  products.  Now software developers
using  the  MKS  Programming  Platform  have   sophisticated
development  tools  transparently  available on both DOS and
OS/2 environments.  This  is  especially  important  to  the
increasing  number  of  mixed DOS, OS/2 and UNIX development
groups.


Only the MKS Programming  Platform  provides  users  with  a
smooth  transition between all these disparate environments.
Other packages require users to engage in the expensive  and
high  maintenance task of converting between different tools
sets.


Now UNIX developers will have their favorite full-screen  Vi
editor  at  their fingertips on OS/2.  This editor, particu-
larly well-suited for  programming  tasks,  will  speed  the
writing  of  new  OS/2  programs  or the porting of existing
software.


Similarly, the MKS AWK language is an excellent  prototyping
tool  for software developers.  Common text manipulation and
data conversion tasks are easily accomplished with MKS AWK's
powerful  pattern  matching  abilities.   Both the large and
small model versions of AWK are available.


Lastly, MKS RCS will aid the tracking and management of OS/2
development  projects - no matter how large or complex.  MKS
RCS contains all the features needed by an  individual  user
or  the  largest  corporate network in one low-cost version.
Because MKS RCS stores files on  disk  in  the  same  easily
inspected  ASCII  form,  these files are readily transferred
between DOS, UNIX, OS/2 and Xenix systems.


The OS/2 versions of these MKS software packages  will  list
for:

     MKS AWK	$179.00

     MKS RCS	$395.00

     MKS Vi	$199.00
