There is more to be added, but this will at least tell people how to try.

INSTALLATION ON THE VMS PLATFORM
--------------------------------
Intro
-----
This file is divided in the following parts:
Requirements - Mandatory reading.
Cheking the distribution - Mandatory reading.
Quick start
Test <TO BE ADDED>
Installation <TO BE ADDED>
Backward portability <TO BE ADDED>
Possible bugs and quirks <TO BE ADDED>
Requirements
------------
To build and install OpenSSL, you will need:
* Perl 5 with core modules (please read README.PERL)
* The perl module Text::Template (please read README.PERL)
* DEC C or some other ANSI C compiler. VAX C is *not* supported.
[Note: OpenSSL has only been tested with DEC 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 GUNZIP to uncompress
it and use VMSTAR to unpack the resulting tar file.
GUNZIP is available {FIXME: where is it available?}
VMSTAR is available {FIXME: where is it available?}
Quick start
-----------
If you want to just get on with it, do this:
$ @config
$ mms
$ mms test
$ mmm install
This will buidl and install OpenSSL in the default location, which is
SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'VERSION']. If you want it to be anywhere else,
run config.com like this:
$ @config --prefix=PROGRAM:[OPENSSL]
