Re: How do I use "VEST"?
When it works, it's easy.
The resulting translated images are not known to be maintainable, and failures (whether latent in the application or due to an error in the image translation) are exceedingly difficult to track.
When it fails, it's not pleasant.
As for accessing and downloading the migration tool, the HP OpenVMS web site has a bug. The OpenVMS web master has historically been quite responsive to reports of site problems, but he can't respond to bugs that he doesn't know about. Yes, do ping HP using the site contact form.

Re: How do I use "VEST"?
That's not the right web page.
I'd considered posting the direct URL here, but in deference to HP's clear desire to have a click-through web page around this package and not wanting to get a reply here in ITRC nuked, I'd rather not post the direct URL to ITRC.
Send some private email (to account "info", domain below), and I'll reply with the direct download URL. You can then reply to the HP message with the correct target URL, too. :-)

Re: How do I use "VEST"?
VEST, and its encore, AEST (for VAX->Alpha and Alpha->Itanium translations respectively), are extremely useful tools, tactically and strategically. Used properly, they can greatly ease the integration of new hardware by de-coupling otherwise tightly coupled tasks.
My paper, "Strategies for Migrating from Alpha and VAX systems to HP Integrity Servers on OpenVMS", that appeared in Volume 10 of the OpenVMS Technical Journal (an abstract and appropriate links is at http://www.rlgsc.com/publications/vmstechjournal/migrationstrategies.html ) outlined just such an integrated approach.
Both tools can also be used improperly and create a support nightmare.
