Yep.  It's there.  I even read Caldera OpenDOS - License & Terms
and Conditions.  Too bad my Netscape/network connection is so poor.
The netscape download stalled out and quit after 1M on the 6M DOD
file and again after 0.5M on the 1M Tutor file.  So I tried to do
a straight ftp from a (linux) xterm, to bypass the almighty net-
scape.  I couldn't locate the files on whatever filesystem I ended
up at.  It doesn't sound like there will be any mirrors (or how 
about CDs pressed?).  So how are we to get to it without using the
current state-of-the-art web browser technology?

I didn't have this much trouble grabbing the 6M linux kernel source
through my (pokey 28.8K) modem (and I didn't have to use netscape
to do it).  Or is it their system load cuz everyone wants OpenDOS
at 1AM EST?  What OS is that machine running anyway?

Still vaporware,
Perry
