We go through this rigmarole every couple of years.
You have to put on the Sherlock Holmes hat.
Start with https://www.xaraxone.com/us/tutorial/; this is Magix's attempt to get things to work.
There is a dropdown of Authors. try that first for GaryP.
There are so many of Gary's tuts missing.
if you click one you get to the Archive. You can then click on the Year link.
You will find many fail.
Another path is http://site.xaraxone.com/tutorials/.
These are post-Gary - 2011 to 2015.
This archive Link takes you to http://archive.xaraxone.com/archive.htm.
You can then try the Guest tutorials.
The best being http://www.xaraxone.com/guest/guest101/.
Be brave and change the guest number, starting with 01.

Someone could extend this code that is run in the browser console to check the Page Link still exist.
Code:
var x = document.querySelectorAll("a");
var myarray = []
for (var i=0; i<x.length; i++){
var nametext = x[i].textContent;
var cleantext = nametext.replace(/\s+/g, ' ').trim();
var cleanlink = x[i].href;
myarray.push([cleantext,cleanlink]);
};
function make_table() {
var table = '<table><thead><th>Name</th><th>Links</th></thead><tbody>';
for (var i=0; i<myarray.length; i++) {
table += '<tr><td>'+ myarray[i][0] + '</td><td>'+myarray[i][1]+'</td></tr>';
};
var w = window.open("");
w.document.write(table);
}
make_table()
It would require a function call to check if a link returns a 200.
Working through all the found pages would allow a collation of dead links that could be given over to Magix to unravel.
