Even though, I generally don’t do anything with mirrors.
Since you don’t have access right now, I took care of it.

I put a copy at:
https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/fdisk/1.3.14/

Excellent news! I'll post an item on the website about it.

I can't login to Ibiblio from where I'm at right now, so I can't
mirror it - maybe someone else with Ibiblio access can do that for me.
Otherwise I'll mirror this to Ibiblio over the weekend.

[Freedos-devel] FDISK 1.3.14

[Bernd Böckmann via Freedos-devel]

I imported FDISK 1.3.14 to the FreeDOS package repository. Changes from last 
imported version are:

Fixes:
- CRITICAL: Fix a drive letter disagree between DOS and FDISK in cases
 involving multiple disks and a mix of active and non-active
 primary partitions.
- HIGH: Prevent querying LBA capabilities via INT13,41, if LBA access is 
disabled
 by the user. This caused some broken BIOS to crash the system,
 like BIOS version 0.9.4 of Book8088 and Xi8088.

Changes:
 - Do not check for extra cylinders by default. DR-DOS refuses to use
   partitions exceeding the BIOS reported disk size, despite being valid.
 - Update German translation.

Bernd
