As many of you may remember I did a review of Windows Services for UNIX 3.0 (SFU) a few months ago. I remember being frustrated with that release because it seemed to me that all Microsoft did was throw something together just to be able to say "Hey look, we have this". I thought, since Microsoft released version 3.5, I would revisit and see what changes were done with it. I downloaded the beta version a while back and from the beta I was very impressed with the improvements that Microsoft made. Being a beta version it was buggy and some things just didnt quite work. I finally got the final version of the OpenBSD-based SFU 3.5 and this release makes dynamic leaps and bounds over previous releases of this software package. I am glad to see a lot more work was put into this release.

On a side note - since someone was looking for a DOS shell for Linux - assuming I remember my history right, I believe it was Caldera who bought DR-DOS and then released the code into the wild (OpenDOS - no idea which opensource license it used). What is the irony of Caldera having been bought by SCO and therefore SCO having the legacy of having created an opensource OS? In theory, SCO might be able to sue any OpenDOS users (assuming they exist) for use of code that SCO released!
Just curious, anyone know what happened to OpenDOS? Did a search and can't find a thing on it - just some dead links to Caldera.
