1 SUMMARY

     2 =======

     3 This is a port of expat for AmigaOS 4.0 which includes the

     4 SDK, some XML tools and the libraries.

     5 

     6 Both static and shared library versions are supported.

     7 

     8 The static library version is limited to clib2 although it should

     9 be possible to use newlib with the appopriate compile options.

    10 

    11 The shared library version is based on the work of Fredrik Wikstrom

    12 and is currently limited to PPC only.
