CALDERA FILES A MICROSOFT SUIT

SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES. Caldera, a company owned mainly by Ray Noorda, Microsoft CEO Bill Gates' old nemesis from Novell, has filed an antitrust suit against Microsoft. Caldera has acquired DR-DOS, an old operating system that once competed against MS-DOS, from Novell. DR-DOS reached just $30 million in sales at Novell, and hasn't been viewed as a serious rival of MS-DOS for more than a decade. Nonetheless, Noorda, who helped start the antitrust fight against Microsoft that culminated in a consent decree in 1994, is taking up the cause again. This time, a Caldera atorney says, the company hopes to finish the job ``the Justice Department left unfinished.''
