OpenDOS is a FREE for non-commercial use version of DOS.  Caldera
purchased Novell DOS 7 and DRDOS from Novell, and is giving it away! The
source code for the entire thing is being released on the internet too! It
will probably be a while before the sources are available but the binary
distribution is coming out some time this week.
