+ lists the functions; you will probably have to look at the code to work out
+ how to use them. Look at the example programs.
+
+ PROBLEMS
+ --------
+
+ For some platforms, there are some known problems that may affect the user
+ or application author. We try to collect those in doc/PROBLEMS, with current
+ thoughts on how they should be solved in a future of OpenSSL.
+
+ SUPPORT
+ -------
+
+ If you have any problems with OpenSSL then please take the following steps
+ first:
+
+ - Download the current snapshot from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot/
+ to see if the problem has already been addressed
+ - Remove ASM versions of libraries
+ - Remove compiler optimisation flags
+
+ If you wish to report a bug then please include the following information in
+ any bug report:
+
+ - On Unix systems:
+ Self-test report generated by 'make report'
+ - On other systems:
+ OpenSSL version: output of 'openssl version -a'
+ OS Name, Version, Hardware platform
+ Compiler Details (name, version)
+ - Application Details (name, version)
+ - Problem Description (steps that will reproduce the problem, if known)
+ - Stack Traceback (if the application dumps core)
+
+ Report the bug to the OpenSSL project via the Request Tracker
+ (http://www.openssl.org/support/rt2.html) by mail to:
+
+ openssl-bugs@openssl.org
+
+ Note that mail to openssl-bugs@openssl.org is recorded in the publicly
+ readable request tracker database and is forwarded to a public
+ mailing list. Confidential mail may be sent to openssl-security@openssl.org
+ (PGP key available from the key servers).
+
+ HOW TO CONTRIBUTE TO OpenSSL
+ ----------------------------
+
+ Development is coordinated on the openssl-dev mailing list (see
+ http://www.openssl.org for information on subscribing). If you
+ would like to submit a patch, send it to openssl-dev@openssl.org with
+ the string "[PATCH]" in the subject. Please be sure to include a
+ textual explanation of what your patch does.
+
+ Note: For legal reasons, contributions from the US can be accepted only
+ if a TSU notification and a copy of the patch are sent to crypt@bis.doc.gov
+ (formerly BXA) with a copy to the ENC Encryption Request Coordinator;
+ please take some time to look at
+ http://www.bis.doc.gov/Encryption/PubAvailEncSourceCodeNofify.html [sic]
+ and
+ http://w3.access.gpo.gov/bis/ear/pdf/740.pdf (EAR Section 740.13(e))
+ for the details. If "your encryption source code is too large to serve as
+ an email attachment", they are glad to receive it by fax instead; hope you
+ have a cheap long-distance plan.
+
+ Our preferred format for changes is "diff -u" output. You might
+ generate it like this:
+
+ # cd openssl-work
+ # [your changes]
+ # ./Configure dist; make clean
+ # cd ..
+ # diff -ur openssl-orig openssl-work > mydiffs.patch
