+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.
