* Where can I get a compiled version of OpenSSL?
You can finder pointers to binary distributions in
-<URL: http://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html> .
+<URL: http://www.openssl.org/about/binaries.html> .
Some applications that use OpenSSL are distributed in binary form.
When using such an application, you don't need to install OpenSSL
The ways to print out the oneline format of the DN (Distinguished Name) have
been extended in version 0.9.7 of OpenSSL. Using the new X509_NAME_print_ex()
interface, the "-nameopt" option could be introduded. See the manual
-page of the "openssl x509" commandline tool for details. The old behaviour

has however been left as default for the sake of compatibility.

* Test suite still fails, what to do?
-Another common reason for failure to complete some particular test is
