Me too.  OD is cool though.  So far the "Open Development Model" seems
to be working in Caldera's favor!  They released it to us, we've found
some problems, they've pulled it to fix it, and will release it again
soon fixed.  Will it be OpenDOS 7.02?

I think they should change the version numbering scheme to something
like the Linux kernel's x.yy.zz scheme where:

x = the major version
yy is even = minor verson of latest stable release
yy is odd  = minor version of latest beta release
zz = minor patch level

So OpenDOS 7.02 would become OpenDOS 7.0.2, or more like OpenDOS 7.1.0
(the 1 indicating development).

Just some suggestions.
