Files in the PHP_FOR_VMS_X04.ZIP distribution:

    aaareadme.txt	This file.

    php-4_0_6.tar-gz    Compressed tar file containing the standard
			PHP 4.0.6 source kit.  The unpack operation will
			rename this file to php-4_0_6.tar.

    not_vmsonly.zip	ZIP file containing the files that replace
			PHP 4.0.6 source kit files (i.e. files that
			required patches to work with VMS).

    vmsonly.zip		ZIP file containing new files to be added to the
			PHP 4.0.6 source tree (e.g. descrip.mms files).

    unpack.com		Command procedure to expand the zip/gzip files
			into a source directory tree ready for building
			the PHP executables.

Requirements for installation:
    DECC 6.0 or higher.
    VMS 7.2
    Gnu Unzip utility, command (i.e. DCL symbol) GUNZIP must be defined.
    UNZIP utility, command UNZIP must be defined.
    VMSTAR utlity, command VMSTAR must be defined.

Building the PHP executables:

   1. Create a top-level directory on a disk with ~100 MB free space.

   2. Unzip the php_for_vms_x'nn'.zip file and invoke unpack.com,
      the procedure set_root_logicals.com will be invoked to
      initially define php_root as the [.php-4_0_6] sub-directory.

   3. Set default to php_root:[sapi.osu] and copy cgilib.c and cgilib.h
      to www_root:[script_code] (may be skipped if server version after
      3.6a present).  Ensure that www_root:[script_code]scriptlib.obj exists.

   4. Set default to php_root:[sapi.osu] and type MMS to build
      the php_4_0_6_core_share.exe shareable image in php_root:[main] and
      the php.exe executable in [sapi.osu].  If MMS is not available,
      invoke the build_php.com command procedure.  The php.exe program only
      works within the OSU web server script environment and is
      the interpreter program that executes php source files.

   5. (optional) If you are using server version 3.6b or later and have built
      the HPSS_share.exe shareable image (produced with the 
      www_root:[script_code]build_hpss_share.com command procedure),
      you can build the hpss_php.exe application by typing the command
      "MMS hpss" or "@build_hpss_php.com".

configure your web server to support PHP scripts.  Also see file
