I found this PDF with the title "how to make a VST plugin", but it appeared to be much more.
It tells a very nice historic overview of the software-based developments along the line.

Confirmed. Doesn't work for me either.
Thanks. This is one of the links I still had to rename.
I'm afraid there will be more, not recent, URL's I posted on this forum with the same mistake.
So any link to a file on my own website ending with .zip can be tried with the extension .7z
