There used to be a project called "BetaDOS" (I'm not sure about the status).
The MetaDOS sources (why would you need them for a MiNT-related project
anyway???) belong to whoever owns the copyright to TOS, and I'm not going to
publish them. As MetaDOS itself is only a few thousand bytes of assembly
code, it should be trivial to reverse-engineer, if anyone is *really*
interested.

(This mail may bounce because I'm posting from a non-subscribed email
address, so feel free to forward to the MiNT mailing list if it doesn't
appear there).
