From 2acd8ec7a953fe0c14fa2338b375955691372e89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Levitte Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2016 00:04:27 +0100 Subject: Change the INSTALL documentation for unified builds Because of the unified scheme, building on different platforms is very similar. We currently have Unix and OpenVMS on the unified scheme, which means that a separate INSTALL.VMS is no longer needed.
