In mail (yesterday) you write:

DR-DOS 7.03 was the next version of Caldera OpenDos 7.02

The versions get a bit weird. I think it went something like this:

Digital Research sold DR-DOS to Novell, resulting in Novell DOS 6.
I think Novell released Novell DOS 7.
Caldera bought it from Novell. 

That gave us OpenDos 7.0 or 7.01 (I forget which. Then there was 7.02,
and then they went back to the DR-DOS name with 7.03.

And if I've missed details, it's because they were even more
convoluted.
