I believe the first listed below is what you are referencing:

CTASK22.ZIP  PD1:<MSDOS.C> Multitasking kernel in C w/ASM & C source
XLIB.ARC     PD1:<MSDOS.C> Comm & Multitasking library for Datalight C

These are all available at:
New Mexico:  simtel20.army.mil (26.2.0.74) in the directory listed above
                                           (PDx:<MSDOS.xxxxx> )
Missouri:    wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4) in mirrors/msdos/xxxxx
Australia:   sol.deakin.oz.au (128.184.1.1) in pub/PC/simtel-20/xxxxx

          LISTSERV@VM.ECS.RPI.EDU  Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
 
    In the body of the mail have the command:

Also (any ftp site):
          BITFTP@PUCC.PRINCETON.EDU
