-To install this package, read the INSTALL file.
-For the Microsoft world, read INSTALL.W32 file.
-
-For people in the USA, it is possible to compile SSLeay to use RSA Inc.'s
-public key library, RSAref. From my understanding, it is claimed by RSA Inc.
-to be illegal to use my public key routines inside the USA. Read
-doc/rsaref.doc on how to build with RSAref.
-
-Read the documentation in the doc directory. It is quite rough, but it lists
-the functions, you will probably have to look at the code to work out how to
-used them. I will be working on documentation. Look at the example programs.
+ PATENTS
+ -------
+
+ Various companies hold various patents for various algorithms in various
+ locations around the world. _YOU_ are responsible for ensuring that your use
+ of any algorithms is legel by checking if there are any patents in your
+ country. The file contains some of the patents that we know about or are
+ rumoured to exist. This is not a definitive list.
+
+ RSA Data Security holds software patents on the RSA and RC5 algorithms. If
+ their ciphers are used used inside the USA (and Japan?), you must contact RSA
+ Data Security for licencing conditions. Their web page is
+ http://www.rsa.com/.
+
+ RC4 is a trademark of RSA Data Security, so use of this label should perhaps
+ only be used with RSA Data Security's permission.
+
+ The IDEA algorithm is patented by Ascom in Austria, France, Germany, Italy,
+ Japan, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and the USA. They should
+ be contacted if that algorithm is to be used, their web page is
+ http://www.ascom.ch/.
+
+ INSTALLATION
+ ------------
+
+ To install this package under a Unix derivative, read the INSTALL file. For
+ a Win32 platform, read the INSTALL.W32 file.
+
+ For people in the USA, it is possible to compile OpenSSL to use RSA Inc.'s
+ public key library, RSAref. Read doc/ssleay.txt under 'rsaref.doc' on how to
+ build with RSAref.
+
+ Read the documentation in the doc/ directory. It is quite rough, but it
+ lists the functions, you will probably have to look at the code to work out
+ how to used them. Look at the example programs.
+
+ SUPPORT
+ -------
+
+ If you have any problems with OpenSSL then please take the following steps
+ first:
+
+ - Remove ASM versions of libraries
+ - Remove compiler optimisation flags
+ - Add compiler debug flags (if using gcc then remove -fomit-frame-pointer
+ before you try to debug things)
+
+ If you wish to report a bug then please include the following information in
+ any bug report:
+
+ OpenSSL Details
+ - Version, most of these details can be got from the
+ 'openssl version -a' command.
+ Operating System Details
+ - OS Name
+ - OS Version
+ - Hardware platform
+ Compiler Details
+ - Name
+ - Version
+ Application Details
+ - Name
+ - Version
+ Problem Description
+ - include steps that will reproduce the problem (if known)
+ Stack Traceback (if the application dumps core)
