Even $75 is too much, whose code was not written initially by MKS. They are
bunch
of utils from GNU binutils. Available from many places as freeware.

Thanks Suhaib,
That'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.
