I have a TPPD without a system disk and wanted to bootstrap with dl-

can't find the archive. The
link on the Club 100 site does not work any longer. Is there another
site I can get this archive from?
Thanks,

At the bottom of the readme I have links to all the previous versions of
desklink, including dl-arc.exe which is the oldest (and the only one
that actually is DeskLink from Travelling Software), then dl-for-*nix,
then dlplus, then dl2. All the new ones are descended from dl for *nix
which Stephen Hurd wrote from scratch and has no connection to the
original desklink. None of the later versions should really be called
desklink but it's been over 20 years already.
The link on club100 actually does work, sorta. It's broken but only
slightly.
The broken link is: http://ftp.whtech.com/club100/com/dl-arc.exe
but all that happened is whtech.com gzipped all the files so the names
changed.
If you take that broken link and just backspace over the filename, you
will see it loads the directory, and the file is still there, just now
with .gz added to the end, and you can click on it and download it.
This applies the same to all of the other whtech links you find on club100.
