That should probably be http://cle.linux.org.tw/xcin/
though, the server gives an error currently.

I think that is now:

The archives don't seem to be accessible anymore.

As these links are in a section that is obsolete anyway, I would
recommend deleting those links.

Don't know about that one,
may be one can use a wordlist from http://icon.shef.ac.uk/Moby/ or
http://aiksaurus.sourceforge.net/ or http://www.openthesaurus.de/ or
openoffice
(not sure, have never used thesaurus files with vim)

This is already documented, that the website is not available anymore.

This site http://www.os2site.com/sw/util/clipboard/index.html has
clipbrd.zip

and also this site http://download.uni-hd.de/ftp/pub/os2/pmtools/ has it
(which seems to be a newer version).

This URL and http://www.soton.ac.uk/~tal197/
don't work and this is already documented.

> print.txt: http://examples.oreilly.com/cjkvinfo/adobe/00README
and also this URL: http://examples.oreilly.com/cjkvinfo/adobe/samples

Both URLs at that help page are at least available at:
http://examples.oreilly.de/english_examples/cjkvinfo/adobe/00README

Not sure, but I think there is a mirror here as .pdf:
http://lumumba.uhasselt.be/takis/howto/src2db.pdf

> syntax.txt: http://www.flexwiki.com/

This should still be valid. I think this site is just offline a lot,
there have been some discussion about it, see here for example:
http://www.mail-archive.com/flexwiki-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg02591.html

Don't know about those.

It seems this is now developed at freedesktop.org:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libXpm
