I don't think Wayback has it, unless you know of a different URL to try. Downloading from the Museum was free, but you had to have a free login; that's how I downloaded my legit version of Borland Turbo C/C++. So Wayback would have been unable to fetch the zip file. For example, this 2021 copy of the "Turbo C++ 1.01" entry: https://web.archive.org/web/20210411001355/https://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/26014 If you click the "Download 2.6MB" button, nothing happens, you just get directed to a blank page. (When I tried it again, I got directed back to the same page.) [..] > > For license purists, I have not checked if the Brexx 2.1.8 sources on > Github are really "GPL" or not nowadays.
