Right. Again, this is a job for somebody who is fluent in VMS.

I don't think the HTTP code has ever been checked on VMS before.
I'm sure it needs work. IKSD would need a lot of new work for

Terrific, much appreciated. I'll fold all these changes into
C-Kermit 9.0 Alpha.03, which is taking longer than expected
because of "things" happening around here.
