Thanks Steven.  Much appreciated.

These source files build without SSL support for me under
Compaq OpenVMS VAX V7.3 and VSI OpenVMS AXP V8.4-2L1.

I've only tested a couple of file transfers using server mode
to both Kermit-11 running under RSTS/E and to Kermit-80 on
an 8-bit Z80 running CP/M plus.  I'll do some more testing later
this evening.  I've not gone down the OpenSSL rabbit hole yet.
