Another source to check is Mortice Kern Systems.  They sell UNIX(R)
system compatible tools, including the MKS Toolkit (over a hundred
utilities, including vi, the new awk, and the Korn shell), MKS Make,
MKS Lex and Yacc, and something called MKS RCS (Revision Control
System).  Their tools work under MS-DOS, OS/2, and several 386-based
brands of the UNIX operating system.  You can get these tools bundled
in various packages.

Mortice Kern Systems is at 35 King St. North, Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA
N2J 2W9, uunet!mks!inquiry, 519-884-2251.  This software is also
available via Programmer's Connection (a mail order firm), 7249 Whipple
Avenue NW, North Canton, Ohio, USA  44720, 800-336-1166 (voice, USA),
800-225-1166 (voice, Canada), 216-494-3781 (voice, everywhere else),
216-494-5260 (FAX).

I bought the MKS Toolkit from Progammer's Connection, and have
recommended it to others who have liked it.  I know some folks in my
department have at least tried MKS RCS, but I don't know how they cared
for it.

Done!  (As well as posting to the net, without the usa distribution
that probably kept MKS from replying to you, and the ncr.sys.pcdos that
broke my first attempt to follow up!)
