OT: SCO 5 6.0.0 - cURL Binaries / upgrade

[Jose Lerebours]

This is my usual go to place

https://curl.se/download.html

for my LINUX distro I  simply use available tools to download/install 
from repositories ... SCO, well, you already know!

BKW has a binary but it is as old as the one my customer has 7.15 and 
his link is broken (formerly known as Aljex is now Decartes Alex - Nice 
work on the site!).
