Subject: missing file in SSLeay distribution

Dear Sirs;

The SSLeay distribution modified for use with VMS includes instructions
in a file named INSTALL.VMS.  These instructions mention the use of a 
file named SSLEAY_STARTUP.COM for defining appropriate logicals on system
startup, but the file is not in the distributions I saw on the server
today.  (I checked all the SSLEAY-0_8_1-RL*.TAR-GZ files, including patch
files.)

I think I have enough info. in INSTALL.VMS to make things work for now,
but I thought you might like to know it's not there in case you thought
it was.

Sincerely,
--Bryan Webb

   files, including patch files.)

Please read and understand [.VMS]INSTALL.COM in the distribution.

To be very specific, INSTALL.VMS says that you install things by doing a
@INSTALL, and says that SSLEAY_STARTUP.COM will appear in your
installation, but it doesn't say how.  Do you think the documentation
needs to say that is what happens?

Sorry about the confusion the SSLEAY_STARTUP.COM file.  As I was
composing that message the possibility of @INSTALL creating
SSLEAY_STARTUP.COM came to mind, but when I re-read INSTALL.VMS I
missed its statement that this was the case.

As I re-read INSTALL.VMS now, I have a question.  Is there any reason
why the <root> location in "@INSTALL <root>" may not be the same
location where the @MAKEVMS is performed?

Thank you!

Not really, but understand that the installed directory structure is not
the same as the source directory structure.

So, if that's the way you want to do it, you do like this:

	@INSTALL 'F$ENV("DEFAULT")

I personally dislike very much to install binaries in the same directory
structure as the source, but I don't necessarely say you have to do the
same.  But I do, I will continue to provide the possibility to have
things installed elsewhere.
