Inc. today announced that it will openly distribute the source code for DOS via the Internet as part of the company's plans to encourage continued development of DOS technologies and applications, further leveling the playing field for software developers worldwide. This effort, targeted to benefit both individual developers and industry partners, follows Caldera's commitment to embrace and fund an open software environment. Caldera also announced plans for internal development and marketing of DOS, including a new product called Caldera OpenDOS. There is also a development going on called FreeDOS (http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/freedos.html). Wonder when is the NetDOS project going to be started??? -- David (obrien@cs.ucdavis.edu)
