What is MKS Toolkit?

MKS Toolkit enables you to preserve your investments in UNIX software and expertise as you deploy Windows-based workstations and servers, because Toolkit allows you to port scripts, source code, and working environments quickly and easily from UNIX to Windows, essentially running Unix in a Windows environment.

The MKS Toolkit products also allow pure Windows users to automate routine tasks with scripting and increase productivity with file and text manipulation tools, batch search and replace tools, and scheduling interfaces. MKS Toolkit products provide solutions in the following areas:

  • User Productivity - a variety of UNIX shells and over 400 command-line utilities help make your software engineers and system administrators more productive on their Windows machines.

  • Platform Interoperability - a selection of connectivity utilities provides you with secure interactive access to both your remote Windows servers and workstations and your legacy systems.

  • Application Portability - more than 2700 APIs let you port all manner of UNIX/Linux applications to Windows, while maintaining a single source code baseline.
