How to Build:

+The Curl tool now has some understanding of VMS file types and will upload the
+files in STREAM_LF fomat.
+
+When CURL is uploading a VARIABLE format VMS file, it is less efficient as in
+order to get the file size, it will first read the entire file once, and then
+read the file again for the actual upload.
+
+The Curl tool will now always download files into STREAM_LF format. Even if a
+file by that name with a different format already exists. This is needed to
+allow interrupted downloads to be continued.
+
+
+The libcurl file module still does not understand VMS file types and requires

The test suites are not supported as of 7.11.0.
The curlmsg.sdl and curlmsg.h files are generated from curlmsg.msg.
This is not done automatically, since the .MSG file is a hand edit
of the relevant stuff from the curl.h file. If you want to do this
yourself you'll need the SDL package from the freeware collection.
