Standard practice under VMS is to install with the command procedure
install.com with a directory as argument.  It creates a directory
structure reminding of the one built under /usr/local/ssl on Unix,
with a subdirectory [.VMS] that contains startup scripts,
openssl_startup.com and openssl_utils.com.  openssl_startup.com builds
logical names (like SSLROOT, which points at the top of the created
directory structure), and is basically meant to be run at system
startup.  openssl_utils.com defines command symbols, and is meant to
be run as part of the system-wide login procedure, or any procedure
you want that need those command symbols defined.

Did that answer your question?
