Alan Winston, when are you correcting your WASD book?
no wonder the WASD SSL compile failed ...
my associate after failing with the WASD creators

well it tuns out the instructions in that book how
to configure WASD are WRONG ...
4.2.4 states to create a dir such as [WASD]
then
$ unzip "-v" htrootxxx.zip
$ unzip "-v" opensslwasdxxxx
well, it should read
$ unzip "-v" htrootxxx.zip
$ set def [.ht_root]
$ inzip "-v" [-]opensslwasdxxx
because then the openssl would actually load
into [WASD.HT_ROOT.SRC] instead of into
[WASD.SRC] ...
then the install routine might actually find the
openssl source sub dir ...
do you give refunds Alan?

"unzip", presumably.

Ooh, sorry about that.
I'll make a note for the errata if there's ever a second edition. (The
publishers have asked for one but I have no time. Of course, by then I'll
need to revisit the whole WASD section in detail; when I started writing
we were in version 7, it was into 8 by the time the book came out, and it's
up in the 10s somewhere. Mark keeps adding functionality.)

Alan,
I'm in line for an updated edition too, _when_ (not if) you get
the time to do one. Yes, thats an imperative there
