* MKS Toolkit, originally created for MS-DOS, is a software package produced and maintained by MKS Inc. that provides a Unix-like environment for scripting, connectivity and porting Unix and Linux software to both 32-and 64-bit Microsoft Windows systems.

* MKS Inc. ( formerly known as Mortice Kern Systems )

MKS Inc ( Mortice Kern Systems ) was a multinational independent software vendor which was acquired by Parametric Technology Corporation on May 31, 2011 and now operates as a business unit within PTC.

Continuing with acquisitions, in 1999 the Interoperability Business Unit merged with DataFocus Inc., a long time OEM partner, and was charged with the evolution of the MKS Toolkit and NuTCRACKER products.

* MKS positioned as an influential vendor in the ALM Vendor Report by independent analyst firm, Voke Inc.

* Forrester named MKS as a leader in Agile development management tools in Forrester Research Inc., May 2010.

The unit of electric field in the MKS system of units is newtons per coulomb, N / C, while the magnetic field ( in tesla ) can be written as N /( C * m / s ).

Microsoft once included a version of the Korn shell produced by Mortice Kern Systems ( MKS ) in a UNIX integration package for Windows NT.

Toolsets like Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX ( SFU ), UWIN, MKS Toolkit for Enterprise Developers and Hamilton C shell also aim to provide a Unix-like user and development environment.

Microsoft Windows is not shipped with support for X, but many third-party implementations exist, as free and open source software such as Cygwin / X, Xming ( free up to 6. 9. 0. 31 ) and WeirdX ; freeware such as Mocha X Server ; and proprietary products such as Xmanager, Exceed, eXcursion ( Hewlett-Packard ), MKS X / Server, Reflection X, X-Win32 and Xming ( current versions ).

In European countries where the metric system was established well before the adoption of the SI standard, there is still carry-over of usage from the precursor cgs and MKS systems.

According to an interview with Sound On Sound magazine in 2002, the piano sounds heard within the score come from the Roland MKS – 20, a rackmount synthesizer.

In return the team strengthened: Arielle Wilson ( from the USA-academic game ), Milena Rosner, member of the Polish representative team, which won the gold medal of the European Championships in Turkey in 2005, Marta Haładyn ( with Tauron MKS Dabrowa Mining ) and Dorota Medyńska ( SMS Sosnowiec / TOP Boleslawiec ).

SFU 1. 0 and 2. 0 ( NT 4. 0 and Windows 2000 ) used the MKS Toolkit ; starting with SFU 3. 0 ( Windows XP ; 1999 ), SFU used the Interix subsystem, which was acquired by Microsoft in 1999 from US-based Softway Systems as part of an asset acquisition.

* UNIX Utilities ( from MKS )

In 2001, following the company's restructuring and refinancing, MKS shifted its primary focus to the enterprise market, expanding from its desktop-based version control and defect tracking system to the multi-tier software change and configuration management ( SCM ) system it had been developing technically since 1997.

By October 2006, the Interoperability Division of MKS announced the release of MKS X / Server-technology, SCO XVision Eclipse and the SCO Wintif, that was rebranded after being acquired from SCO.

The accolades continued for MKS Integrity with more from the analyst and PR firms:

* 2002: MKS officially changes its name from Mortice Kern Systems to MKS

* 2006: First release of MKS X / Server ( technology acquired from SCO )

* The Windows Script Host, which uses scripting engines for many glue languages like Perl, Rexx, PHP, Ruby, Tcl, Delphi, XSLT, Python and others and has those for VBScript, JScript, and VBA installed by default, is capable of running in interactive mode from cmd. exe, command. com, or most other shells running under Windows like the MKS Unix shells, ( or any script or program with OS access or the Run box of the GUI ) by invoking as CScript. exe // I.

* Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX, a product similar to the MKS Toolkit offering

For example, Unix tools ported to Windows vary as to the EOF: Cygwin uses < ctrl-d > ( the usual, Unix EOF ) and MKS Toolkit uses < ctrl-z > ( the usual, Windows EOF ).

Windows ( cygwin, SFU or MKS )

Common examples are the MKS Toolkit ( sh, bash, ksh, csh, tclsh, rsh with version 8. 0 and subsequent ), UnxUtils, UWIN ( AT & T Unix for Windows, also abbreviated U / WIN ), Cygwin, DJGPP, Interix, and other programmes of the same type.

Starting in the 1880s, and more significantly by the mid-20th century, CGS was gradually superseded internationally for scientific purposes by the MKS ( metre – kilogram – second ) system, which in turn developed into the modern SI standard.

The abbreviation cc ( for cubic centimetre, equal to a millilitre or mL ) is a unit of the cgs system, that preceded the MKS system, that later evolved into the SI system.

Matroska file extensions are. MKV for video ( with subtitles and audio ),. MK3D for stereoscopic video,. MKA for audio-only files, and. MKS for subtitles only.

With the end of production of the full-size rear wheel drive body-on-frame platform for the Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car, Ford is promoting the Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS flagships for consumers.

The number 2 is for the second expedition and is enclosed in the Cyrillic MKS and Latin ISS which are the respective Russian and English abbreviations for the International Space Station.

* The terms SI and metric system are not strictly interchangeable ; the common " metric system " refers to a system of units based on powers of 10, for example the cgs system ; while SI was originally based on the MKS system of units.

Recently it is used in the 2009 Lincoln MKS commercial, and in a series of TV ads for the Alfa Romeo MiTo.

Singer Cat Power recorded a cover of David Bowie's " Space Oddity " for use in a commercial for the 2009 Lincoln MKS.

It included a demonstration version of the MKS Toolkit along with the following components:

In 1987, MKS stepped into the version control market with a product called MKS RCS, which was renamed to MKS Source Integrity in 1992, deciding at that time to put strategic emphasis and focus expansion on the software configuration management marketplace, a segment of what is now known as Application Lifecycle Management ( ALM ).

In 1997 MKS began development of a new, more scalable enterprise version management system that formed the underlying architecture of the MKS Integrity ALM product offered today.

The CGS system has been largely supplanted by the MKS system, based on metre, kilogram, and second.

The latter adopts the three base units of MKS, plus the ampere, mole, candela and kelvin.

Since the international adoption of the MKS standard in the 1940s and the SI standard in the 1960s, the technical use of CGS units has gradually declined worldwide, in the United States more slowly than elsewhere.

The continued usage of CGS units is most prevalent in magnetism and related fields, as the primary MKS unit, the tesla, is inconvenienently large, leading to the continued common use of the gauss, the CGS equivalent.

Other conventions may have a different number of fundamental units ( e. g. the CGS and MKS systems of units ).
