  SDK, some XML tools and the libraries.
-Both static and shared library versions are supported.
+Four library flavours are supported:
+. static clib2 (libexpat.a)
+. static newlib (libexpat.a)
+. AmigaOS library (expat.library)
+. AmigaOS shared object library (libexpat.so)

-be possible to use newlib with the appopriate compile options.
- The shared library version is based on the work of Fredrik Wikstrom
- and is currently limited to PPC only.
+ 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'

+ 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
  =======
+.1 - bumped version to match AmigaOS streaming
+      - modified to remove all global variables (except INewLib)
+      - removed replacements for malloc(), etc. which are now
+        handled by the respective C library
+      - compiled with the latest binutils which bumps the
+        AMIGAOS_DYNVERSION to 2 for the libexpat.so target
+      - now strips the expat.library binary
+.2  - fixed XML_Parse 68k stub which enables xmlviewer to work
+        without crashing
+      - added some new functions to the 68k jump table available
+        in the latest expat.library for AmigaOS 3.x
+      - patches provided by Fredrik Wikstrom
+.1  - fixed package archive which was missing libexpat.so
+      - fixed library protection bits
+      - fixed up copyright notices
+.0  - integrated 68k patches from Fredrik Wikstrom which means
+        expat.library is now callable from 68k code
+      - bumped version for the addition of the 68k interface so
+        executables can explicitly ask for version 5 and know
+        it includes the 68k interface
+      - refactored Makefile to avoid recursive make calls and
+        build all the library flavours
+      - added static newlib version
+      - added shared objects version
+      - added package target to Makefile
+      - compiled with SDK 53.13 (GCC 4.2.4) at -O3
 .2  - updated to correspond to Expat 2.0.1 release
       - bumped copyright banners and versions
       - simplified amigaconfig.h
- Line 38  HISTORY
