To Whom Ever Cares,
I just finished compiling openssl 0.9.6 on win2k server and NT 4.0 server
No problems. Used ml.exe assembler and Visual Studio 6.0

Heres what I did:
1a) downloaded openssl-0.9.6.tar.gz. Double clicked the file and used
    winzip 7.0 to extract the file in the c:\openssl-0.9.6 directory

1) installed Visual Studio 6.0 with command line executables enabled.
    the install program will ask you during the install. There is also
    a way to enable it after you have installed Studio.

2) downloaded the ml.exe assembler from
http://www.pbq.com.au/home/hutch/masm.htm
    unzip'ed and ran the install program.

3) copied c:\masm32\ml.exe to a directory in my PATH

4) downloaded and installed ActiveState perl from activestate.com

5) followed the INSTALL.W32 read me file instructions for Visual Studio.

6) opened a command prompt (start->run) type in cmd and press return.

7) typed "c:\cd openssl-0.9.6

 Visual C++
 ----------
root_path> = c:\openssl-0.9.6\

 Firstly you should run Configure:
 root_path> perl Configure VC-WIN32

 Next you need to build the Makefiles and optionally the assembly language
 files:

 - If you are using MASM then run: ( *which I am :)
    root_path>ms\do_masm

   ( I have done some internal testing and the assembly version runs
       *significantly faster)
 - If you don't want to use the assembly language files at all then run:
   root_path> ms\do_ms

 Then from the VC++ environment at a prompt do:
   root_path> nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak

 If all is well it should compile and you will have some DLLs and
executables
 in out32dll. If you want to try the tests then do:
 
 root_path> cd out32dll
 root_path> ..\ms\test

Everything compiled GREAT and I had no problems what so ever.

Lots of luck to you - I tried to get it to compile on NT - spent weeks on
it. Couldn't get it to work and couldn't find anyone with an answer. I
finally gave up and compiled it on Linux and it works perfect on that
platform.
