The V8.3 version appears to be complete however.

I tested the links for the default version (which is V8.3) before posting
but didn't think to test the other versions.

Hopefully there's enough documentation archived across the various
versions to get people out of trouble while HP get their act together.

I just checked and see the documentation links on the new VMS page
are _still_ broken. :-(

I've sent feedback to HP via their website; I don't know if anything
will happen as a result.

Simon.
