I didn't realize they had re-released as freeware (although I should have, see below). I'll look at it and mirror that too. Also in the same folder you pointed to is the readme file: https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/devel/c/pacific/readme.txt This file is a copy of an email where Clyde Smith-Stubbs waived any registration fee. From that file: >Permission is hereby granted to use Pacific C for the FreeDOS project or >any other private or commercial use without payment of any fee.

Until then, >the above permission will allow the use of the current version.
