-     A command line tool which provides the following functions:
-
-     enc     - a general encryption program that can encrypt/decrypt using
-               one of 17 different cipher/mode combinations.  The
-               input/output can also be converted to/from base64
-               ascii encoding.

-               message digests for any of md2, md5, sha (sha-0 or sha-1)
-               or mdc2.
-     asn1parse - parse and display the structure of an asn1 encoded
-               binary file.
-     rsa     - Manipulate RSA private keys.
-     dsa     - Manipulate DSA private keys.

-     dsaparam- Manipulate and generate DSA parameter files.
-     crl     - Manipulate certificate revocation lists.
-     crt2pkcs7- Generate a pkcs7 object containing a crl and a certificate.
-     x509    - Manipulate x509 certificates, self-sign certificates.
-     req     - Manipulate PKCS#10 certificate requests and also
-               generate certificate requests.
-     genrsa  - Generates an arbitrary sized RSA private key.
-     gendsa  - Generates DSA parameters.
-     gendh   - Generates a set of Diffie-Hellman parameters, the prime
-               will be a strong prime.
-     ca      - Create certificates from PKCS#10 certificate requests.

  If you have any problems with OpenSSL then please take the following steps
  first:
 
+    - Download the current snapshot from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot/
+      to see if the problem has already been addressed
     - 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
-    - On Unix systems: Output of './config -t'

-    - Version
-    Application Details 
-    - Name 
-    - Version 
-    Problem Description
-    - include steps that will reproduce the problem (if known)
-    Stack Traceback (if the application dumps core)
