Hi everybody,

Well, I tried and tried to get OpenDOS from the web page, and it just kept
fizzling out after 700K or so. But *then* I got on this list, and read a
message from: <rm AT Fh-Worms DOT DE>... who said to try:

        http://hot.virtual-pc.com/~calderag/download/

YES!!! That one really works. It took about an hour, since I just have a
klunky 14.4, but it all came through on the first try. The file (dod701.exe)
unpacked ok, and I installed it on my old 386 - no problems! 8-) I have to
wait a while before I try it on the 486 - but at least I have the files here!

Caldera might want to think about getting a real FTP server running (just
for the OpenDOS downloads), because the demand for OpenDOS is going to be
MASSIVE, once people start finding out about it.

Ok, C-Ya,
Paul
