+ NOTES FOR THE OPENVMS PLATFORM
+ ==============================
+
+ Requirement details
+ -------------------
+
+ In addition to the requirements listed in INSTALL, these are required
+ as well:
+
+  * At least ODS-5 disk organization for source and build.
+    Installation can be done on any existing disk organization.
+
+
+ About ANSI C compiler
+ ---------------------
+
+ An ANSI C compiled is needed among other things.  This means that VAX C
+ is not and will not be supported.
+
+ We have only tested with DEC C (a.k.a HP VMS C / VSI 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 GZIP -d to uncompress
+ it and VMSTAR to unpack the resulting tar file.
+
+ Gzip and VMSTAR are available here:
+
+   http://antinode.info/dec/index.html#Software
+
+ Should you need it, you can find UnZip for VMS here:
