Not to reiterate what Bill said, but "a decrepit version of the DOS
operating system" is probably not the correct term. DR-DOS was written
by Digital Research. It was a much more stable version of DOS, and was
reentrant long before Windows 3.0 came out. Interestingly enough,
Caldera was making more money from DR-DOS than they were making from
Linux.
