I downloaded it, thanks. Mainly it just seems that only older,
obsolete RSX files are available at large (i.e. "Google it" wouldn't
help here). I guess once Rainer's site disappeared in 2006 (as well as
him!) with no obvious successor, the files disappeared into the ether
(almost).

That seems to be true here, and the extra byte needed is a "0" for
each of the four files mentioned (coincidentally). I even downloaded
again, and it *still* truncates at 99%, which is annoying. Must be
some bug on their (WayBack) end.

I'm not sure why you think RSXDJ15.ZIP is newer, sounds like an older
version of RSXDJ151.ZIP (which DJGPP mirrors have in /v2tk/). That's
the last version to support "bound" DOS + Win32 .EXEs (since 1.6 beta2
only seems to build Win32-only .EXEs). One example of such
"bound" .EXE is ALink (which isn't written by me, BTW, heh).

The front page mentions RSXNT151.ZIP, but it actually points to
RSX*R*T151.ZIP. Here's what it says:

last update: 5 Feb 2002

Latest updates:  	Description:
rsxide2b.zip (282 KB) 	RSXIDE 2.02 (supports emx, mingw32, cygwin,
palm tools)
rsxnt151.zip (401 KB) 	rsxnt 1.51 runtime (new binaries rsxide, rsxnt,
rsx)

Older updates:
rsxntdj16beta2.tar.gz (1,09 MB) 	download beta2 of rsxntdj 1.6; Win32
SDK for djgpp; with sources
crtdll.zip (78 KB) 	download add-on for rsxnt (emx port); headers and
libraries to use crtdll (like mingw32)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
---------------------------------

In short, the only hugely useful part of that for me is the
RSXRT151.ZIP file ("RunTime" stuff with updated RSX.EXE extender and
RSXNT.DLL etc. files).

It works, thanks again. So hopefully it'll stick around for 90 days so
somebody else can mirror it.    ;-)
