Where is the right place to file this?
Chris does not know yet that I am least able to resolve this question.

Hi - I'm interested in looking into NeXus in connection with the
discussion that's going on about hyperspectral data formats.  But when
I start to try some coding, I immediately run into problems with poor
online documentation.

If you go here
http://www.nexusformat.org/Application_Program_Interface#C_and_C.2B.2B_Interface
and click on "Documentation of routines" or
http://download.nexusformat.org/doxygen/html/
you get a "404 Not Found"

If you go here
http://www.nexusformat.org/Application_Program_Interface#IDL_Interface
and click on "Description of NeXus-IDL interface" you get a page that
says "There is currently no text in this page."  Furthermore, if you
click on the link to download the IDL routines from
ftp://ftp.neutron.anl.gov/nexus/nidl.tar
you find that no computer answers at that location.

Is it possible for you to either fix the online doxygen documentation,
or send me a PDF file of a description of the C interface routines?

Thanks, Chris Jacobsen
