That's an old file, and I don't know why source code was not available with it.
I found some 1.02 sources at http://mvmpc9.ciw.uni-karlsruhe.de/public/uka_ppp/SRC/WATTCP/ (also a version 1.01) and have mirrored this at ibiblio. http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/net/htget/ htget.exe also has been moved there, but I think we ought to delete it if we don't have sources. -jh On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 4:02 AM, Mateusz Viste <mate...@viste-family.net> wrote: > Hi Blair! > > On Tuesday 07 April 2009 09:13, Blair Campbell wrote: >> HTGET was included in freedos 1.0 IIRC so you might find the source >> with the distribution somewhere > > Yeah, that what I thought as well.
