Really bites Vern.

They lie.  They have updated the V5R2 "Memo to users" PDF.  In fact the 
new cover page has
Version 5 Release 2 (July 2003 Update)

I just looked at the v5r2 version of this link - just put a 2 in place of 
the 2 - and see the following notes:

>Links outside the individual PDFs are not enabled.

and

>API information updates that became available after the V5R2 Information 
>Center was issued are not reflected in the PDF links. Updated API 
>information is available only through the HTML versions of the APIs.

Now isn't that nice - we're being told where we are being shafted.
