RxDOS's "evaluation executables" are available at the web site, but the
only
source code available is an update to the code in "Dissecting DOS".  The
whole source is only available in the book.  

LEGAL CRIBSHEET: The status of the executables is similar to that of 
shareware, while that status of the source is apparently similar to that of
the earliest releases of Minix.
