Expat is a shared library which is based on the opensource project
http://expat.sourceforge.net and is used to parse XML (eXetendable
Markup Language) documents. XML is the basis of the majority of the
new web technologies being developed by the World Wide Web Consortium
but is also used in business for easy document/data exchange. Since
XML is a can be easily parsed it makes an ideal format for process
communication and configuration/preferance files for applications.
The library itself does NOT require ixemul but some of the examples
may.

There are three related archives:

util/lib/expat-usr.lha - just the shared library 
dev/c/expat-dev.lha - the library, the header files docs and examples
dev/src/exapt-src.lha - all that's in expat-dev.lha plus the
                        modifed source files and test suite

The original source is quite mature now, is used in many projects and
is the XML parser used in the Mozilla browser. For more information on
XML look at http://www.xml.com and http://www.w3.org .

As of version 1.1 (1.95.3/4) expat comes with a rudimentary test suite.
This is included in the src archive. See the README's in tests/.

This is my first attempt at creating a shared library and in most part
used CLib37x.lha by Andreas R. Kleinert.

History
1.0  - first release based on expat 1.95.2 src
1.0b - xmlwf documentation added to -dev -src
     - added missing config.h to -src
1.0c - fixed example/elements.c -dev -src, I must remember to test everything!
1.1  - updated base to expat 1.95.4. No 1.95.3? Well they was a major bug
       in it and 1.95.4 was out two weeks later
     - reorganised makefiles
     - compiled for m68020+
1.2  - updated base to 1.95.5
      - library version as tested by exec wasn't set correctly (was 37.32)
        this release is 12.0 since there are API additions being made to point
        releases upstream
      - removed extraneous win32 files from -src
