+BUILDING PCRE ON STRATUS OPENVOS
+
+These notes on the port of PCRE to VOS (lightly edited) were supplied by
+Ashutosh Warikoo, whose email address has the local part awarikoo and the
+domain nse.co.in. The port was for version 7.9 in August 2009.
+
+1.   Building PCRE
+
+I built pcre on OpenVOS Release 17.0.1at using GNU Tools 3.4a without any
+problems. I used the following packages to build PCRE:
+
+  ftp://ftp.stratus.com/pub/vos/posix/ga/posix.save.evf.gz
+     
+Please read and follow the instructions that come with these packages. To start
+the build of pcre, from the root of the package type:
+
+  ./build.sh
+
+2. Installing PCRE
+
+Once you have successfully built PCRE, login to the SysAdmin group, switch to
+the root user, and type
+
+  [ !create_dir (master_disk)>usr   --if needed ]
+  [ !create_dir (master_disk)>usr>local   --if needed ]
+    !gmake install
+
+This installs PCRE and its man pages into /usr/local. You can add
+(master_disk)>usr>local>bin to your command search paths, or if you are in
+BASH, add /usr/local/bin to the PATH environment variable.
+
+4. Restrictions
+
+This port requires readline library optionally. However during the build I
+faced some yet unexplored errors while linking with readline. As it was an
+optional component I chose to disable it.
+
+5. Known Problems
+
+I ran a the test suite, but you will have to be your own judge of whether this
+command, and this port, suits your purposes. If you find any problems that
+appear to be related to the port itself, please let me know. Please see the
+build.log file in the root of the package also.
