There is a link at the bottom.

I have not considered that.

Long opinionated writing about what DEC decided 30 years ago,
why, consequences of that and, discussions about whether DEC
made the right decision and discussions about what VSI should do
now are out of scope for the series.

And from the more practical perspective I don't think there
is enough to write about. One page with background,
one page with all the stuff one can do in C and one
page about the fun of Java calling C via JNI. That
must be about it.
