Hello,
from the changelog of package ctanbib:
>2019-05-04 Use the curlcommand to download the package info
>2019-05-04 Added information about the need to have thecurlcommand
in-stalled
Even when curl is included on newer [1] Windows 10 builds, it's not for
Windows 7 and 8.1.
I used the current offical version from [2] of curl.
Not so important, but with
>ctanbib -v
>ctanbib version 0.1d
>C:\texlive\2019\bin\win32\runscript.tlu:911: command failed with exit
code 1:
>texlua c:\texlive\2019\texmf-dist\scripts\ctanbib\ctanbib -v
This error also occurs with the switch -h, for help, without a package name.
Regards,
Roland
