What are your Open Source Freeware Tools Costing You?
Are you tired of freeware tools that are a hassle to find and painful
to keep current? And then, when you finally have everything you need the
tools don't quite get the job done. These and other problems end up consuming
valuable time, at a cost far more than the license and support fees that were
originally "saved." MKS Toolkit provides tools for instant productivity in both
32- and 64-bit Windows environments with development, testing, or system
administration tasks. Call 800-637-8034; +1 (703) 803-3343; In the UK +44(0) 1483733923.

 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Quality Counts in Cross-Platform Development
Mixed environments can make for headaches in the enterprise, but diversity also does some good. Ask the companies harnessing heterogeneity for added power, performance, and flexibility-and the growth in business they bring.

Still, seamless cross-platform operation doesn't happen on its own. Smoothing the rough spots between UNIX/Linux and Windows calls for high-quality tools that address all the usual development issues--while easing the transition to the 64-bit systems required for mission-critical memory- and compute-intensive applications.

That eliminates much of today's freeware from consideration. After all, there's no definitive way to tell where it came from-or how diligent its creator is about testing rebuilds and exterminating the bugs. What's more, it's rare that any two pieces of freeware come from the same source; less rare is the discovery they don't work together when run in the live environment. Further, with so many disparate strings of freeware to keep track of, administrators could easily wind up in an endless cycle of installs, updates, and debugs. And good luck finding helpful support.

It's hardly an effective strategy for optimizing the operating environment. Today's climate demands reliable cross-platform tools for Windows and UNIX/Linux that improve productivity on both 32 and 64-bit systems-and spare IT departments any unnecessary hassles.

Enter MKS Toolkit 9.0 from MKS Software. The latest release builds on an established reputation for ensuring cross-platform development with a wide range of new features, from multibyte character support and secure visual file manipulation to updated Perl and enhanced APIs. MKS Toolkit 9.0 also offers something freeware can't: The peace of mind that comes with deploying a comprehensive product that's carefully controlled, virus-checked, integrated, QA'd, and supported by a reliable and trusted commercial vendor.
