   Caldera, Inc. filed an antitrust suit against Microsoft Corp. for
   alleged conduct "intended to prevent and destroy competition in
   the computer software industry." Former Novell CEO Raymond Noorda
   is the majority owner of Caldera, which acquired the DR DOS
   operating system. One of the firm's lawyers, Stephen Susman,
   said, "It is our intention to finish the job the Justice
   Department left unfinished when it settled its antitrust complaint
   through a consent decree." The suit specifically includes
   requests for permanent injunctions against Microsoft's use of
   per-processor licenses on MS-DOS and creating real or perceived
   incompatibilities between its and Caldera's products. The suit
   would also require Microsoft to disclose to Caldera all APIs for a
   period of ten years.
