Yeah, that what I thought as well. I already searched the FreeDOS 1.0 packages list (as well as other directories on ibiblio), unfortunately I could find only the HTGET v1.05 binary file, without any sources with it, nor any information who has developped HTGET from v1.02 to v1.05 :-( I already prepared my fix on v1.02, but for obvious reasons it would be way better to apply it on the latest version instead... That way I would be able to release a v1.07 version...
