+			Expat, Release 2.00
+
+This is expat, the C library for parsing XML, written by James Clark. Expat
+is a stream oriented XML parser. This means that you register handlers with
+the parser prior to starting the parse. These handlers are called when
+the parser discovers the associated structures in the document being parsed.
+A start tag is an example of the kind of structures for which you may
+register handlers.
+
+Expat is free software. You may copy, distribute, and modify it under the
+terms of the License contained in the file, COPYING, distributed with this
+package. This license is the same as the MIT/X Consortium license.
+
+To build expat, you first run the configuration shell script in the top
+level distribution directory:
+
+	./configure
+
+There are many options which you may provide to configure (which you can
+discover by running configure with the --help option.) But the one of most
+interest is the one that sets the installation directory. By default,
+the configure script will set things up to install libexpat into
+/usr/local/lib and expat.h into /usr/local/include. If, for example, you'd
+prefer to install into /home/me/mystuff/lib and /home/me/mystuff/include,
+you can tell configure about that with:
+
+	./configure --prefix=/home/me/mystuff
+
+After running the configure script, the "make" command will build things and
+"make install" will install things into their proper location. Note that
+you need to have write permission into the directories into which things
+will be installed.
+
+A reference manual is available in the doc/reference.html in this
+distribution.
+
+The homepage for this project is http://expat.sourceforge.net. There are
+links there to connect you to the bug reports page. If you need to report
+a bug when you don't have access to a browser, you may also send a bug
+report by email to expat-bugs@lists.sourceforge.net.
+
+Discussion related to the direction of future expat development takes place
+on expat-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net. Archives of this list may be found
