-Compilation:
-============
 
-I've used the very good command procedures written by Robert Byer
-<byer@mail.all-net.net>, and just slightly modified them, making
-them slightly more general and easier to maintain.
+ Requirements
+ ------------
 
-You can actually compile in almost any directory separately.  Look
-for a command procedure name xxx-LIB.COM (in the library directories)
-or MAKExxx.COM (in the program directories) and read the comments at
-the top to understand how to use them.  However, if you want to
-compile all you can get, the simplest is to use MAKEVMS.COM in the top
-directory.  The syntax is trhe following:
+ To build and install OpenSSL, you will need:
 
-  @MAKEVMS <option> <rsaref-p> <debug-p> [<compiler>]
+  * 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]
 
-<option> must be one of the following:
+ Checking the distribution
+ -------------------------
 
-      ALL       Just build "everything".
-      DATE      Just build the "[.INCLUDE]DATE.H" file.
-      SOFTLINKS Just copies some files, to simulate Unix soft links.
-      RSAREF    Just build the "[.xxx.EXE.RSAREF]LIBRSAGLUE.OLB" library.
-      CRYPTO    Just build the "[.xxx.EXE.CRYPTO]LIBCRYPTO.OLB" library.
-      SSL       Just build the "[.xxx.EXE.SSL]LIBSSL.OLB" library.
-      SSL_TASK  Just build the "[.xxx.EXE.SSL]SSL_TASK.EXE" program.
-      TEST      Just build the "test" programs for OpenSSL.
-      APPS      Just build the "application" programs for OpenSSL.
+ 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.
 
-<rsaref-p> must be one of the following:
+ The easiest way to check if everything got through as it should is to
+ check for one of the following files:
 
-      RSAREF    compile using the RSAREF Library
-      NORSAREF  compile without using RSAREF
+  [.crypto]opensslconf^.h.in
 
-Note: The RSAREF libraries are NOT INCLUDED and you have to
-      download it from "ftp://ftp.rsa.com/rsaref".  You have to
-      get the ".tar-Z" file as the ".zip" file doesn't have the
-      directory structure stored.  You have to extract the file
-      into the [.RSAREF] directory as that is where the scripts
-      will look for the files.
+ 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.
 
-Note 2: I have never done this, so I've no idea if it works or not.
+ GUNZIP is available {FIXME: where is it available?}
 
-<debug-p> must be one of the following:
+ VMSTAR is available {FIXME: where is it available?}
 
-      DEBUG     compile with debugging info (will not optimize)
-      NODEBUG   compile without debugging info (will optimize)
 
-<compiler> must be one of the following:
+ Quick start
+ -----------
 
-      VAXC      For VAX C.
-      DECC      For DEC C.
-      GNUC      For GNU C.
+ If you want to just get on with it, do this:
 
+  $ @config
+  $ mms
+  $ mms test
+  $ mmm install
 
-You will find the crypto library in [.xxx.EXE.CRYPTO], called LIBCRYPTO.OLB,
-where xxx is VAX or AXP.  You will find the SSL library in [.xxx.EXE.SSL],
-named LIBSSL.OLB, and you will find a bunch of useful programs in
-[.xxx.EXE.APPS].  However, these shouldn't be used right off unless it's
-just to test them.  For production use, make sure you install first, see
-Installation below.
+ 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:
 
-Note: Some programs in this package require a TCP/IP library.
+  $ @config --prefix=PROGRAM:[OPENSSL]
 
-Note 2: if you want to compile the crypto library only, please make sure
-        you have at least done a @MAKEVMS DATE and a @MAKEVMS SOFTLINKS.
-        A lot of things will break if you don't.
-
-Note 3: Alpha users will get a number of informational messages when
-        compiling the [.asm]vms.mar file in the BN (bignum) part of
-        the crypto library.  These can be safely ignored.
-
-Test:
-=====
-
-Testing is very simple, just do the following:
-
-  @[.TEST]TESTS
-
-If a test fails, try with defining the logical name OPENSSL_NO_ASM (yes,
-it's an ugly hack!) and rebuild. Please send a bug report to
-<openssl-bugs@openssl.org>, including the output of "openssl version -a"
-and of the failed test.
-
-Installation:
-=============
-
-Installation is easy, just do the following:
-
-  @INSTALL <root>
-
-<root> is the directory in which everything will be installed,
-subdirectories, libraries, header files, programs and startup command
-procedures.
-
-N.B.: INSTALL.COM builds a new directory structure, different from
-the directory tree where you have now build OpenSSL.
-
-In the [.VMS] subdirectory of the installation, you will find the
-following command procedures:
-
-  OPENSSL_STARTUP.COM
-
-        defines all needed logical names.  Takes one argument that
-        tells it in what logical name table to insert the logical
-        names.  If you insert if it SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM, the
-        call should look like this: 
-
-          @openssldev:[openssldir.VMS]OPENSSL_STARTUP "/SYSTEM"
-
-  OPENSSL_UTILS.COM
-
-        sets up the symbols to the applications.  Should be called
-        from for example SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM 
-
-The logical names that are set up are the following:
-
-  SSLROOT       a dotted concealed logical name pointing at the
-                root directory.
-
-  SSLCERTS      Initially an empty directory, this is the default
-		location for certificate files.
-  SSLMISC	Various scripts.
-  SSLPRIVATE	Initially an empty directory, this is the default
-		location for private key files.
-
-  SSLEXE        Contains the openssl binary and a few other utility
-		programs.
-  SSLINCLUDE    Contains the header files needed if you want to
-		compile programs with libcrypto or libssl.
-  SSLLIB        Contains the OpenSSL library files (LIBCRYPTO.OLB
-		and LIBSSL.OLB) themselves.
-
-  OPENSSL	Same as SSLINCLUDE.  This is because the standard
-		way to include OpenSSL header files from version
-		0.9.3 and on is:
-
-			#include <openssl/header.h>
-
-		For more info on this issue, see the INSTALL. file
-		(the NOTE in section 4 of "Installation in Detail").
-		You don't need to "deleting old header files"!!!
-
-Backward portability:
-=====================
-
-One great problem when you build a library is making sure it will work
-on as many versions of VMS as possible.  Especially, code compiled on
-OpenVMS version 7.x and above tend to be unusable in version 6.x or
-lower, because some C library routines have changed names internally
-(the C programmer won't usually see it, because the old name is
-maintained through C macros).  One obvious solution is to make sure
-you have a development machine with an old enough version of OpenVMS.
-However, if you are stuck with a bunch of Alphas running OpenVMS version
-7.1, you seem to be out of luck.  Fortunately, the DEC C header files
-are cluttered with conditionals that make some declarations and definitions
-dependent on the OpenVMS version or the C library version, *and* you
-can use those macros to simulate older OpenVMS or C library versions,
-by defining the macros _VMS_V6_SOURCE, __VMS_VER and __CTRL_VER with
-correct values.  In the compilation scripts, I've provided the possibility
-for the user to influence the creation of such macros, through a bunch of
-symbols, all having names starting with USER_.  Here's the list of them:
-
-  USER_CCFLAGS		 - Used to give additional qualifiers to the
-			   compiler.  It can't be used to define macros
-			   since the scripts will do such things as well.
-			   To do such things, use USER_CCDEFS.
-  USER_CCDEFS		 - Used to define macros on the command line.  The
-			   value of this symbol will be inserted inside a
-			   /DEFINE=(...).
-  USER_CCDISABLEWARNINGS - Used to disable some warnings.  The value is
-			   inserted inside a /DISABLE=WARNING=(...).
-
-So, to maintain backward compatibility with older VMS versions, do the
-following before you start compiling:
-
-  $ USER_CCDEFS := _VMS_V6_SOURCE=1,__VMS_VER=60000000,__CRTL_VER=60000000
-  $ USER_CCDISABLEWARNINGS := PREOPTW
-
-The USER_CCDISABLEWARNINGS is there because otherwise, DEC C will complain
-that those macros have been changed.
-
-Note: Currently, this is only usefull for library compilation.  The
-      programs will still be linked with the current version of the
-      C library shareable image, and will thus complain if they are
-      faced with an older version of the same C library shareable image.
-      This will probably be fixed in a future revision of OpenSSL.
-
-
-Possible bugs or quirks:
-========================
-
-I'm not perfectly sure all the programs will use the SSLCERTS:
-directory by default, it may very well be that you have to give them
-extra arguments.  Please experiment.
-
-
-Report:
-=======
-
-I maintain a few mailinglists for bug reports and such on software that
-I develop/port/enhance/destroy.  Please look at http://www.free.lp.se/
-for further info.

-TODO:
-=====
-
-There are a few things that need to be worked out in the VMS version of
-OpenSSL, still:
-
-- Description files. ("Makefile's" :-))
-- Script code to link an already compiled build tree.
-- A VMSINSTALlable version (way in the future, unless someone else hacks).
-- shareable images (DLL for you Windows folks).
-
-There may be other things that I have missed and that may be desirable.
-Please send mail to <openssl-users@openssl.org> or to me directly if you
-have any ideas.
