SUMMARY
=======
This is a port of expat for AmigaOS 4.x which includes the
SDK, some XML tools and the libraries.
Four library flavours are supported:
1. static clib2 (libexpat.a)
2. static newlib (libexpat.a)
3. AmigaOS library (expat.library)
4. AmigaOS shared object library (libexpat.so)
The AmigaOS library version is based on the work of Fredrik Wikstrom.
BUILDING
========
To build all the library flavours, all the tools, examples and run the
test suite, simply type 'make all' in the amiga subdirectory.
INSTALLATION
============
To install expat into the standard AmigaOS SDK type 'make install'
in the amiga subdirectory.
CONFIGURATION
=============
You may want to edit the lib/amigaconfig.h file to remove
DTD and/or XML namespace support if they are not required by your
specific application for a smaller and faster implementation.
SOURCE CODE
===========
The source code is actively maintained and merged with the official
Expat repository available at http://expat.sourceforge.net/
HISTORY
=======
53.1 - bumped version to match AmigaOS streaming

- now strips the expat.library binary
5.2 - fixed XML_Parse 68k stub which enables xmlviewer to work
without crashing
