4.0 was a buggy release. Where's the DOS 4.01 source?

I would assume that with some disassembling 4.01 could be reconstructed from 4.0 without too much trouble.

No. The comments aren't there and 4.01 was also a major rewrite after Microsoft took the project back from IBM.

Crazy that they would only increase the version number by this little then. version numbers truly mean nothing...
