I wanted to get the "OpenVMS brochure" [1] which didn't work because
"open link in a new window" simply gets redirected to another page [2]
full of JavaScript. If the browser doesn't support JavaScript (Lynx
e.g.) or JavaScript isn't allowed for security reasons (including
tracking by Google Analytics or eTracker) you will not get that
brochure. "Save link target as ..." will download a file named
"5982-9831EN.pdf" -- but is does _not_ contain PDF statements but HTML
instead which seems to be identical to the source of [2].

(I finally got that document by picking the various parts of the URL
from within the source code ...)
