For several month now, the HP OpenVMS freeware site no longer offers access to the freeware by package; you can only download full CD content, as a .ZIP file. Why, ramains a question. Space cannot be a problem, I think: It's just a few Gb.... Hp offers a number of other sites where you should be able to get the files, but I checked them all and just one (!) FTP site in this list seems to be valid at the time. So that is not an option either. I downloaded all ZIP files and extracted the contents, to allow you to browse the content of each freeware version distribution. You won't find the original ZIP files on this site. They are still available on the HP OpenVMS freeware site, so you'll have to get them from there. All packages contain a file named "FREEWARE_README.TXT" that contains a short description on what the package is about. To get a full list on the contents per version, I scanned all directories, per version, for this file and extracted the basic content and wrote it to a file FREEWAREVvv_ABSTRACT.TXT on each version directory (Vvv being the version number). Some packages do not have a FREEWARE_README.TXT file or miss the description, and therefore you'll need to get into the package to find out about its content. For all in the files in this directory tree, ownership and rights are maintained by their original owners. All software is available as-is, to be used at your own risk, without warranty and support on my side. For questions, refer to the original owner. And by the way: This location is READONLY. You will NOT be able to store any files here. WG
