Have you ever tried OpenDos? Caldera and the Canopy Group got the
rights to Digital's libary which included the old DR DOS and
Concurrent DOS, which they kinda shoved together along with a bunch
of Novell Stuff and released Open Dos as an opensource alternative to
MSDOS. They were in the midst of the "Anti- everything - about-
MicroSoft" lawsuits, at the time. I think that was one way they were
pulling the tail of the tiger, who was on a short leash. Just gave
away what used to cost large. 

Ah yeah, Ray Norda! He started Caldera with some of his Golden
Parachute money from leaving Novell. Heckuva guy! He had it bad for
MicroSoft who had done to him nasty in the past and was willing to do
it again in the future. <cackles> Gotta admit, he had the large ones.
