In order to ensure a consistent environment across UNIX machines, we have come up with a "standard toolkit" to deploy across all of our supported platforms. Some of these tools come with the UNIX distributions already, especially in the case of Mac OS X?.

Please keep in mind that this does not include our ITG Standard UNIX Desktop Applications?
