What about using the Wayback Machine archive ? The web archive should be
more stable than other links which also might disappear in the future.
E.g.
https://web.archive.org/web/20070610002602/http://www.herine.net/stat/software/dbinom.html
, which also links to an archived copy of the PDF.
Best regards,
Hilmar

In principle a good idea, but I'm not sure the whereabouts of Catherine Loader
are known at this point. Last peeps from her on the net seem to be about a
decade old.

Here's the last time:

I guess my answer to the following the question...
Perhaps we should ask permission to
nail the thing down somewhere on r-project.org?
...would be, to reproduce it somewhere.
And then update the link in the binom help file.
Given that the article was previously available freely (with no
apparent restrictions on reproducing it), and that the author has
significant published works which are open access, I'd be surprised if
there's any objection to reproducing it.

FWIW the link from ?dbinom to the Loader paper on Binomials is broken but the
paper seems to be
available here:
