+Native builds using Embarcadero C++Builder
+=========================================
+
+This toolchain (a descendant of Turbo/Borland C++) is an alternative to MSVC.
+OpenSSL currently includes an experimental 32-bit static-build configuration
+targeting the Clang-based compiler (bcc32c.exe) in v10.3.3 Community Edition.
+<https://www.embarcadero.com/products/cbuilder/starter>
+
+ 1. Install Perl.
+
+ 2. Open the RAD Studio Command Prompt.
+
+ 3. Go to the root of the OpenSSL source directory and run:
+ perl Configure BC-32 --prefix=%CD%
+
+ 4. make -N
+
+ 5. Build your program against this OpenSSL:
+ * Set your include search path to the "include" subdirectory of OpenSSL.
+ * Set your library search path to the OpenSSL source directory.
+
+Note that this is very experimental. Support for 64-bit, dynamic library, and
+other Configure options is still pending.
