I don't think it exists. They are probably talking about norton commander, which is easy to find out there.
No they're not talking about Norton,
there was a DJGPP port years ago but it isn't archived as far as I can tell.

Okay. That makes sense that it would be some kind of sick Linux-on-DOS fantasy.
Just FYI. I did email the dev of the DOS version. They replied, but no longer have a copy.
Ah. I followed the breadcrumbs. Apparently the correct file is "mc146b.zip", but it doesn't exist anywhere I can see.
It is not some sick Linux on DOS fantasy, it is midnight commander code built with DJGPP.
It was probably totally straightforward because the version used is ancient - 1.4.6, it is one of the earliest versions just months into the projects' beginning.
And probably nothing alike the modern mc experience.
I used demos commander back then, didn't use the earliest mc's from mid 90s...
It would be theoretically possible to perform a static build of modern mc and all the dependencies using modern DJGPP. The resulting binary could end up at the size of Windows 3.11 installation...

Jk jk.
I just thought it was funny that someone would go through so much trouble to make a DOS version of a Linux program that was itself made to give Linux users an version of DOS-only program (Norton).
