that.

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 oen of the following files:

	[.CRYPTO]OPENSSLCONF.H_IN
	[.CRYPTO]OPENSSLCONF_H.IN

They should never exist both at once, but one of them should (preferably
the first variant).  If you can't find any of those two, something went
wrong.

The best way to get a correct distribution is to download the gzipped tar
file from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/, use GUNZIP to uncompress it and
use VMSTAR to unpack the resulting tar file.

GUNZIP is available in many places on the net.  One of the distribution
points is the WKU software archive, ftp://ftp.wku.edu/vms/fileserv/ .

VMSTAR is also available in many places on the net.  The recommended place
to find information about it is http://www.free.lp.se/vmstar/ .
