+<H1>expat - XML Parser Toolkit</H1>
+
+<H3>Version 1.2</H3>
+
+<P>Copyright (c) 1998, 1999, 2000 Thai Open Source Software Center
+Ltd. Expat is freely available with source under a very liberal <a
+href="copying.txt">license</a> (the MIT license).</P>
+
+<P>This is a production version of expat. Relative to expat 1.1, it
+adds support for parsing external DTDs and parameter entities.
+Compiling with -DXML_DTD enables this support. There's a new
+<CODE>-p</CODE> option for xmlwf which will cause it to process
+external DTDs and parameter entities; this implies the <CODE>-x</CODE>
+option. See the comment above <CODE>XML_SetParamEntityParsing</CODE>
+in <CODE>xmlparse.h</CODE> for the API addition that enables this.</P>
+
+<P>Expat is an <A
+HREF="http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210">XML 1.0</A> parser
+written in C. It aims to be fully conforming. It is currently not a
+validating XML processor. The current production version of expat 1.X
+can be downloaded from <A href =
+"ftp://ftp.jclark.com/pub/xml/expat.zip"
+>ftp://ftp.jclark.com/pub/xml/expat.zip</A>.</P>
+
+<P>Development of expat 2.0 is being handled by a team led by Clark
+Cooper, hosted by <A
+href="http://www.sourceforge.net">sourceforge.net</A>. See <A href=
+"http://expat.sourceforge.net">http://expat.sourceforge.net</A> for
+the latest on expat 2.0.</P>
+
+<P>The directory <SAMP>xmltok</SAMP> contains a low-level library for
+tokenizing XML. The interface is documented in
+<SAMP>xmltok/xmltok.h</SAMP>.</P>
+
+<P>The directory <SAMP>xmlparse</SAMP> contains an XML parser library
+which is built on top of the <SAMP>xmltok</SAMP> library. The
+interface is documented in <SAMP>xmlparse/xmlparse.h</SAMP>. The
+directory <SAMP>sample</SAMP> contains a simple example program using
+this interface; <SAMP>sample/build.bat</SAMP> is a batch file to build
+the example using Visual C++.</P>
+
+<P>The directory <SAMP>xmlwf</SAMP> contains the <SAMP>xmlwf</SAMP>
+application, which uses the <SAMP>xmlparse</SAMP> library. The
+arguments to <SAMP>xmlwf</SAMP> are one or more files which are each
+to be checked for well-formedness. An option <SAMP>-d
+<VAR>dir</VAR></SAMP> can be specified; for each well-formed input
+file the corresponding <A
+href="http://www.jclark.com/xml/canonxml.html">canonical XML</A> will
+be written to <SAMP>dir/<VAR>f</VAR></SAMP>, where
+<SAMP><VAR>f</VAR></SAMP> is the filename (without any path) of the
+input file. A <CODE>-x</CODE> option will cause references to
+external general entities to be processed. A <CODE>-s</CODE> option
+will make documents that are not standalone cause an error (a document
+is considered standalone if either it is intrinsically standalone
+because it has no external subset and no references to parameter
+entities in the internal subset or it is declared as standalone in the
+XML declaration).</P>
+
+<P>The <SAMP>bin</SAMP> directory contains Win32 executables. The
+<SAMP>lib</SAMP> directory contains Win32 import libraries.</P>
