I don't know much about OpenSSL/SSL, just noted a message from
Mark Daniel today on the WASD mail list. The latest OpenSSL (1.0.2c,
released 12-Jun-2015) https://www.openssl.org/ is now available as
a kit for VMS (two days later!) https://wasd.vsm.com.au/wasd/

It says "specifically to support WASD", and I have no
idea about how general this build is...

WASD can at least use either the HP supplied 0.9.8.something,
the 1.0.2c supplied by Mark or some localy supplied OpenSSL kit.
