+OpenSSL - Port To The Macintosh OS 9 or Earlier
+===============================================
+
+Thanks to Roy Wood <roy@centricsystems.ca> initial support for Mac OS (pre
+X) is now provided. "Initial" means that unlike other platforms where you
+get an SDK and a "swiss army" openssl application, on Macintosh you only
+get one sample application which fetches a page over HTTPS(*) and dumps it
+in a window. We don't even build the test applications so that we can't
+guarantee that all algorithms are operational.
+
+Required software:
+
+- StuffIt Expander 5.5 or later, alternatively MacGzip and SUNtar;
+- Scriptable Finder;
+- CodeWarrior Pro 5;
+
+Installation procedure:
+
+- fetch the source at ftp://ftp.openssl.org/ (well, you probably already
+  did, huh?)
+- unpack the .tar.gz file:
+       - if you have StuffIt Expander then just drag it over it;
+       - otherwise uncompress it with MacGzip and then unpack with SUNtar;
+- locate MacOS folder in OpenSSL source tree and open it;
+- unbinhex mklinks.as.hqx and OpenSSL.mcp.hqx if present (**), do it
+  "in-place", i.e. unpacked files should end-up in the very same folder;
+- execute mklinks.as;
+- open OpenSSL.mcp(***) and build 'GetHTTPS PPC' target(****);
+- that's it for now;
+
+(*)    URL is hardcoded into ./MacOS/GetHTTPS.src/GetHTTPS.cpp, lines 40
+        to 42, change appropriately.
+(**)   If you use SUNtar, then it might have already unbinhexed the files
+       in question.
+(***)  The project file was saved with CW Pro 5.3. If you have an earlier
+       version and it refuses to open it, then download
+       http://www.openssl.org/~appro/OpenSSL.mcp.xml and import it
+       overwriting the original OpenSSL.mcp.
+(****) Other targets are works in progress. If you feel like giving 'em a
+       shot, then you should know that OpenSSL* and Lib* targets are
+       supposed to be built with the GUSI, MacOS library which mimics
+       BSD sockets and some other POSIX APIs. The GUSI distribution is
+       expected to be found in the same directory as the openssl source tree,
+       i.e., in the parent directory to the one where this very file,
+       namely INSTALL.MacOS, resides. For more information about GUSI, see
+       http://www.iis.ee.ethz.ch/~neeri/macintosh/gusi-qa.html
+
+Finally some essential comments from our generous contributor:-)
+
+"I've gotten OpenSSL working on the Macintosh. It's probably a bit of a
+hack, but it works for what I'm doing. If you don't like the way I've done
+it, then feel free to change what I've done. I freely admit that I've done
+some less-than-ideal things in my port, and if you don't like the way I've
+done something, then feel free to change it-- I won't be offended!
+
+... I've tweaked "bss_sock.c" a little to call routines in a "MacSocket"
+library I wrote. My MacSocket library is a wrapper around OpenTransport,
+handling stuff like endpoint creation, reading, writing, etc. It is not
+designed as a high-performance package such as you'd use in a webserver,
+but is fine for lots of other applications. MacSocket also uses some other
+code libraries I've written to deal with string manipulations and error
+handling. Feel free to use these things in your own code, but give me
+credit and/or send me free stuff in appreciation! :-)
