+- John E. Malmberg provided VMS specific patch: "This fixes an existing bug
+  in urlglob.c where it was not converting the Curl Unix exit code to a VMS
+  DCL compatible exit code.  This fix required the enhancement described next.
+  This also adds an enhancement to main.c so that when curl is run under a
+  Unix shell like Bash on VMS, it will return the standard Unix exit codes
+  and messages."
+
+  I introduced os-specific.c and os-specific.h for use in curl tool code
+  and adjusted John E. Malmberg's patch placement to use these new files
+  as an effort to prevent main.c from growing ad infinitum. Code already
+  existing in main.c which is OS specific should be moved into these files.
