Laurent,

Curl is to used as a foreign command (as are most Unix like programs used on
VMS f.e. look at traceroute or other TCPIP commands; "show symbol traceroute").

For curl please use:

CURL :== "$<DEV>:[<DIR>]CURL.EXE"

<DEV>:[<DIR>] specify where your curl is if it in your logindirectory just use:

CURL :== "$SYS$LOGIN:CURL.EXE"

Now you can say "curl --help" etc.

Please keep in mind it is a Unix tool, it work very well with Stream-lf file
format
but other file formats may give surprising result.

I hope this helps

Kind Regards,

Nico Baggus
