What has happened to the Dinkumware C Library Reference???

This is terrible.
I hope that the reference is not permanently gone, because those
reference pages were real gems!

Try a backup copy, from archive.org

As long as a website doesn't use a "norobots" file, chances are there could be
an archive copy. The owners of the content, have the ability to have archives
removed (for example, some Microsoft gems I used to offer pointers to, were
pulled from the archive by Microsoft - the real question is, why bother doing
that).

Archive.org has room for somewhere around 5000 1TB hard drives, and at one time
archived using racks of PCs. They got a proper "data trailer" a couple years ago,
to supplement their setup.
