OpenDOS should be available on Caldera's web site sometime next week.
(between tomorrow and friday)

It's not all hype.  Trust me. ;)  I've been running it a little over a
month here.  I was able to obtain OpenDOS and the MRS for it due to the GEM
work I'm doing with the Caldera EDC.  All of the info on both the OpenDOS
and djgpp mailing lists about OpenDOS has come from me after I obtained
permission to make a general announcement to the djgpp list.  Everything
I've mentioned does in fact exist and it performs as I've said.

Microsoft deals in hype.  Caldera deals in fact.
