How to Build:=In theory you should be able to do an @defines followed by anE@build_vms from this directory and it will create brand new .olbs andCan .exe.  I say in theory because every release of cURL tosses in a@new twist that has to be addressed by updating the config-vms.h*=files, or other files.  I'm working on keepin all the OpenVMS?dependant stuff in this config file to keep from having to wade!through gobs of #ifdefs and such.Other Notes:/The test suites are not supported as of 7.11.0.CThe CURLMSG.SDL and CURLMSG.H files are generated from CURLMSG.MSG.BThis is not done automatically, since the .MSG file is a hand editCof the relevant stuff from the CURL.H file.  If you want to do this:yourself you'll need the SDL package from the freeware CD.
