   2  NOTES FOR THE OPENVMS PLATFORM
   3  ==============================
   4
   5  Requirement details
   6  -------------------
   7
   8  In addition to the requirements listed in INSTALL, these are required
   9  as well:
  10
  11   * At least ODS-5 disk organization for source and build.
  12     Installation can be done on any existing disk organization.
  13
  14
  15  About ANSI C compiler
  16  ---------------------
  17
  18  An ANSI C compiled is needed among other things.  This means that VAX C
  19  is not and will not be supported.
  20
  21  We have only tested with DEC C (a.k.a HP VMS C / VSI C), compiling with
  22  a different ANSI C compiler may require some work.

  25  Checking the distribution
  26  -------------------------
  27
  28  There have been reports of places where the distribution didn't quite
  29  get through, for example if you've copied the tree from a NFS-mounted
  30  Unix mount point.
  31
  32  The easiest way to check if everything got through as it should is to
  33  check for one of the following files:
  34
  35    [.crypto]opensslconf^.h.in
  36
  37  The best way to get a correct distribution is to download the gzipped
  38  tar file from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/, use GZIP -d to uncompress
  39  it and VMSTAR to unpack the resulting tar file.
  40
  41  Gzip and VMSTAR are available here:
