OpenVMS Technical Journals -- issues found online
It would be nice to point to a complete reference of the entire OpenVMS Technical Journal (OVTJ) series; unfortunately a web-search turns up this link which itself is full of broken links to journal issues. Sadly, HPE (and its predecessor HP) have not been very good stewards of this valuable technical-journal library, nor of many of the other VMS sacred relics that they obtained through Compaq Computer Corp from the late, lamented Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC).
However, in spite of the broken links in the above web-page, we've discovered that (at least for now), individual OpenVMS Technical Journal issues can be retrieved “manually” via a URL of this form:
http://h41379.www4.hpe.com/openvms/journal/vXX/index.html
where the XX is a Volume Number from 1 to 20 – For example, to get to OVTJ Volume 12, use this URL:
http://h41379.www4.hpe.com/openvms/journal/v12/index.html
We're testing this trick for the full sequence of issues, and will report back here if we discover any URLs of this form which are broken and lead to a “missing OVTJ volume”.
HPE may further “break” or “lose” this library with any future update of their websites (this happens all too frequently), so as a safeguard, you may want to download any and all issues and articles you can find herein.
