While I don't disagree with your comments about SCO, you're off beam
on the history of DR-DOS. Lineo got it before 2000 -- it's not been
Caldera/SCO property for a *long* time and you've missed 2
intermediate name changes.

True, but they were official, from Lineo. They don't run DOS apps
well, though -- it's been tried.
