Not from Caldera, anyway. But having released the source once, they
can't exactly recall it. Search AltaVista for dossrc.zip, or try:

The free release included only the kernel and command shell, not any
of the other utilities. Rebuilding it required a fairly specific set
of tools as well. But as a learning aid, it's a very useful package.
