"MKS Utilities attempt a total and perfect emulation of UNIX
... IMHO, MKS is unusable because they insist on treating
"c:foo" as identical to "c:/foo"; they claim this is more UNIX
compatible and therefore desirable."
To us died-in-the-wool Unix experts who don't know much MSDOS and
aren't very interested in learning, the adherence of MKS to the
"perfect emulation" goal is highly attractive. I, for one, am
delighted to have "c:foo" treated the same as "c:\foo".
Different strokes for different folks -- the essence of a free market.
