@Reziac: You cannot translate these hex values literally to ASCII text. It is an executable file. The hex values decode to "mov ax,4ch ; int 21h". This is just what the filename says: "return 0" (the program is executed and 0 is returned to the command interpreter as a status code, signalling successful execution).

It is Real MS-DOS Source code. Not 6.00 but is 5.00

BTW return0.com is just a 5 byte file, in hex:
b8 00 4c cd 21
that's a header-marker, a space, and the characters L=!
I don't think that can be a virus. I think it's probably a status indicator for the build process.

This is a repack of the original leaked source (which did not include the 3 install disks).
As I recall from examining it when it first appeared -- it's not actually DOS6 source; it's DOS5 source with some new DOS6 code in progress. (Not that it makes a lot of difference.) Looked to me like someone did a hasty job of zip-and-copy.
Nonetheless, it's interesting stuff. For extra fun, grep for "IBM" and various swear words. :)

seems to be legitimate upon first inspection. looking at some of the assembly files now, this is cool stuff.

for the issue with return0.com in source\c6ers\tools6\bin, this does not come up as infected on my machine. (Tested with Malwarebytes and Windows Defender)

Webroot claims that there is a win32.localinfect.0 virus in the file source/c6ers/tools6/bin/return​0.com
Is this just a false positive?
