No. He showed me how to do it on my OWN Windows computer.
All he did was download curl from http://curl.haxx.se/download.html and put
the windows binary into my c:\os\winxp\system32\curl.exe location.

He told me curl works on just about every operating system in the world,
and from the looks of the web page above, it sure looks like it.

When I type Start cmd and then curl, I get a response of:
