 How to Build:
 
-In theory you should be able to do an @defines followed by an
-@build_vms from this directory and it will create brand new .olbs and
-an .exe.  I say in theory because every release of cURL tosses in a
-new twist that has to be addressed by updating the config-vms.h*
-files, or other files.  I'm working on keeping all the OpenVMS
-dependent stuff in this config file to keep from having to wade
-through gobs of #ifdefs and such.
+The (brute-force) builder is [.packages.vms]build_vms.com.  Comments in
+this procedure describe various optional parameters which enable or
+disable optional program features, or which control the build in other
+ways.  Product files (.EXE, .H, .LIS, .MAP, .OBJ, .OLB, ...) should be
+produced in an architecture-specific subdirectory under this directory
+([.ALPHA], [.IA64], [.VAX]).
+
+   Example build commands:
+
+      @ [.packages.vms]build_vms.com CLEAN
+      @ [.packages.vms]build_vms.com LARGE LDAP
+      submit /noprint [.packages.vms]build_vms.com /param = (LARGE, LDAP)

 Other Notes:
 
 The test suites are not supported as of 7.11.0.
 
-The CURLMSG.SDL and CURLMSG.H files are generated from CURLMSG.MSG.
+The curlmsg.sdl and curlmsg.h files are generated from curlmsg.msg.
 This is not done automatically, since the .MSG file is a hand edit
-of the relevant stuff from the CURL.H file.  If you want to do this
