The location is http://curl.haxx.se/download.html#VMS This is the binary and object library distribution of the cURL 7.16.0 release. See the readme.vms file in the zip for usage information. The zip files contain executables and objects built with OpenSSL, hpSSL and without SSL support. The files are in architecture specific zips. The OpenSSL and noSSL versions are self-contained in that you can run these programs without any other software on the system. For the hp SSL version, you will need to have hp's SSL V1.1-B product installed.

Curl is a command line tool for transferring files with URL syntax, supporting FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, GOPHER, TELNET, DICT, FILE and LDAP. Curl supports HTTPS certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, kerberos, HTTP form based upload, proxies, cookies, user+password authentication, file transfer resume, http proxy tunneling and a busload of other useful tricks. I haven't tested all the features, since I only use the library for HTTP(S) stuff via C programs. It does compile and link cleanly on all the platforms outlined above. ------------------------------ Date: 25 Jan 2007 01:32:14 -0800 From: "Ian Miller" Subject: Re: Delayed telnet connection Message-ID: <1169717534.182324.110840@m58g2000cwm.googlegroups.com> Try changing the option on the telnet service to it does not do a reverse IP lookup.

Could be debated either way, depending on one's definition. :) OpenVMS/Alpha V1.0 ran on the Electric Vlasic^H^H^H^H^HAlpha, which was a pure 64-bit hardware architecture. System services may have been 32-bit back then, but the OS as a whole ran on 64-bit hardware. If so, you can date it further back in time. OpenVMS/Alpha V1.0 corresponded to roughly V5.4 or thereabouts? IIRC, that release was in late 1992? -Dan ------------------------------ Date: 25 Jan 2007 04:40:41 -0800 From: "Ian Miller" Subject: Re: New HP Daylight Savings Time ( DST ) Web Site Message-ID: <1169728841.560928.94150@v45g2000cwv.googlegroups.com> Note also the following alternative URL http://www.hp.com/go/dst ------------------------------ Date: 25 Jan 2007 09:45:35 -0800 From: "Doug Phillips" Subject: Re: New HP Daylight Savings Time ( DST ) Web Site Message-ID: <1169747135.607214.74000@q2g2000cwa.googlegroups.com> On Jan 24, 6:54 am, "Main, Kerry" wrote: > All, > > The following cross platform HP web site may be of interest for those > planning for the new US based DST changes. > > http://h10072.www1.hp.com/dst/ > > This web site is meant to be a collection point for HP hardware, > software, storage, networking and management software patches required. > That page says 2007 US DST ends Second Sunday in November, 4 November 2007.

You are correct, it is not widely used on VMS any more, although it is still used by many of HP's biggets VMS customers. On z/OS it is widely used. You don't know PL/I. It is better for business processing than Cobol. It is better for scientific programming than Fortran. It is better than C for systems programming. I have coded in all those languages and written compilers for them as well. We continue to support and enhance the product. Next look for tools to web enable PL/I applications and embedded XML parser.

Guarantee to buy enough SAS licenses on OpenVMS/Itanium to make the port viable. I am sure that HP asked SAS to do the port but beyond that what did you expect them to do??? My guess is that having being underwhelmed by the puff of protest when they made the announcement that they would not be supporting Itanium SAS decided to drop the port despite HP's protests.
