SSLeay 0.9.0b for Cross Platform Development
============================================

SSLeay is the intellectual property of Eric Young (eay@ssleay.org)

This package assembled by Antony T Curtis (antony.curtis@olcs.net)

What is SSLeay?

  SSLeay is a public domain library supplied in source code format
 for the implementation of cryptographic libraries across multiple
 platforms.

What is this for?

 Using this toolkit allows the development of programs which would
 compile easily for both OS/2 and Win32 targets using either the C
 or Pascal programming language. The DLLs for both platforms sport
 identical APIs to ensure maximum cross platform support.

 To aid performance, all the optimised assembler code are compiled
 in and all the optimisations of the Watcom C 10.6 compiler are on
 except for register parameter passing.


 The Pascal interface libraries are currently incomplete - insofar
 as the macros (inline functions) are not all defined and constant
 declarations are only partially there - enough to compile and run
 the simple SSL client example code provided.

 The directory structure should be self explanitory. 'Nuff said.

 This package is a work in development as I am using it for my own
 personal projects. As with all of my other projects, there are no
 set dates for "completion", especially with this.

 The documentation is out of date... That is not my fault.

 However, I am planning upon producting a PDF formatted file of it
 as there are viewers for both platforms available.

 As an additional note, the Win32 binaries work with the Win32OS/2
 project as it uses no "weirdo" APIs. Of course, real OS/2 program
 executables would be preferable to the OS/2 community.

 Have fun... Enjoy and encrypt! =)

 Regards

        Antony.
