From 7793e17440539b71aee62afd81846717d9423f2e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Levitte Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2016 08:27:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] VMS: add a note about DECC$* logical names These logical names are used to make the C RTL change certain behaviors, sometimes to make it act more like Unix. While they can make life easier in some cases, they can be disruptive as well. When building and testing OpenSSL, the latter is the case, so we ask people to avoid using them.
