There does not seen to be a full release of DR-DOS 7.05 available, but
the three kernel files [IBMBIO.COM & IBMDOS.COM 7.04, and COMMAND.COM
7.05] have [apparently] been shipping as the DOS in OEM products which
supply basic DOS functionality thru Caldera DOS, e.g., Ontrack includes
them in the Fix-It Utilities 3.0 Rescue Disk.  They may also be included
with some current PowerQuest products.  See www.drdos.org and
www.drdos.net for other sources.

The 7.05 kernel files will work with the other files from the existing
7.03 release.  The consensus seems to be that the 7.05 kernel solves
most?/all? of the existing DR-DOS problems with both FAT32 drives and
LongFileNames, EXCEPT that there is still no ability to boot either
'regular' DR-DOS or LOADER from a FAT32 drives.  PLUS the 7.05 [kernel]
release is buggy:  e.g., the DOS RENAME command no longer works!
