I've put the previous "shareware but free" version under this path: https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/devel/c/pacific/shareware-free/ ..and I put the newer "freeware" version under this path: https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/devel/c/pacific/freeware/ I also updated the timestamps on the directories and files to reflect their actual dates. The readme.txt in shareware-free is an email sent on 17 Jun 1998, so I updated that file timestamp to that date, and updated the shareware-free directory timestamp to the newest file there (Dec 12 1998). And I updated the freeware/pacific.exe (and the freeware directory itself) to 20040215, the date from the Web Archive URL.

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.

RIP Tom Two reasons. 1. Borland's freeware release of Turbo C 2.01 and later Turbo C++ 1.01, which had better C runtimes. 2. OpenWatcom, which had pretty much everything Borland did, and wasn't just freeware (though it needed a beefier host computer). -uso. ___ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
