NOTES FOR THE OPENVMS PLATFORM
==============================
Requirement details
-------------------
In addition to the requirements listed in INSTALL, these are required
as well:
* At least ODS-5 disk organization for source and build.
Installation can be done on any existing disk organization.
About ANSI C compiler
---------------------
An ANSI C compiled is needed among other things. This means that VAX C
is not and will not be supported.
We have only tested with DEC C (a.k.a HP VMS C / VSI C), compiling with
a different ANSI C compiler may require some work.
Checking the distribution
-------------------------
There have been reports of places where the distribution didn't quite
get through, for example if you've copied the tree from a NFS-mounted
Unix mount point.
The easiest way to check if everything got through as it should is to
check for one of the following files:
[.crypto]opensslconf^.h.in
The best way to get a correct distribution is to download the gzipped
tar file from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/, use GZIP -d to uncompress
it and VMSTAR to unpack the resulting tar file.
Gzip and VMSTAR are available here:

Should you need it, you can find UnZip for VMS here:
