Some may find this interesting. Microsoft has released the source for MS-DOS versions
1.25, 2, and 4.

I think the most interesting thing about this is that they published it
under an actual open source license (MIT) and not that nonsense that was
used when they released 1.25 and 2.0 through the CHM years ago.

It's historically interesting, plus it might help the FreeDOS folks plug
some compatibility holes since they can now legally look at the old code to
see how it does things.

Yes. I'd thought about trying to reconstruct the source to the Rainbow
version(s) of DOS, but the license soured me on the idea.
