hpssl sources for axp v14-476 is not a backup saveset

[msteve]

I am unable to extract the sources from the saveset. This is on an ES47 running OpenVms 8.3

From this site:

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/ssl/ssl_source.html#buildopenssl

Using this link:

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/openvms/ssl/HP_VMS_SSL_SOURCES_V14-476.AXPEXE

File downloads fine.

File executable runs fine.

   It looks as if some highly trained HP employee has not yet mastered
either Zip archive generation or software quality testing.  Around here:

> Instructions for building HP SSL from sources [...]

   I haven't looked at HP's source changes, so I know nothing, but,
depending on your (unspecified) goals, you might wish to consider
starting with a standard OpenSSL source kit from the standard place:

      http://www.openssl.org/source/

   OpenSSL testing on VMS tends to _follow_ a release, so it's common to
find some problems, but some suggested changes for some versions can be
found at:

      http://antinode.info/ftp/openssl/

   I tend to trust my own stuff more, but more OpenSSL-for-VMS material
may be found at:

      http://polarhome.com/openssl/

In recent versions of VMS backup has a /REPAIR qualifier, which seems to be useful here:

PS: When will Lithium let me change the font family and/or let me enter code in the code popup window (Firefox 31.0/Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu) ???
