Thanks,

I was hoping more versions would be OK. Do you know about the bundled
utilities and transient commands too.

Last time I visited the Caldera Web site I couldn't see DR-DOS mentioned,
nor Web Spyder. Glad to hear they're still around. By the way, do you know
if the fabled patch to allow DR-DOS to host Win9x really exists, and more
importantly, if it does, where it can be obtained from?

Cheers
