Not from Caldera, anyway.  But having released the source once, they
can't exactly recall it.  Search AltaVista for dossrc.zip, or try:
http://astrobase.bajaobs.hu/dos/altopr/dos/index.htm

The free release included only the kernel and command shell, not any
of the other utilities.  Rebuilding it required a fairly specific set
of tools as well.  But as a learning aid, it's a very useful package.
