Hm, I see, apparently I did not get a link to .zip until I logged in, and
the infocenter keeps automatically unlogin me on each browser restart.
Does the content of the installed archive agree with the list in the
paragraph 6.1.1 of the note ?

But I see that the list includes two binaries vfpsupport.b and
vfpsupport.l. Are they contained in the archive ? In which binary format
are they distributed ? If it is ELF, then there is still some hope.
