Subject: RE: cygwin vs. MKS ToolkitThat's *exactly* why I'm asking. It's on sale for like $128. btw at www.provantage.com until October (with $75. rebate).
Best!

MKS Toolkit is collection of bunch of GNU utilities, which are already part of Cygwin. I am not sure why would you like to pay 200 buck for something GNU utils which are available free from several places on Internet, including source code from GNU itself. I am also not sure how MKS charge for those utilities which were written by GNU, like sh, sed and ls etc etc. Suhaib--
