README.win32

The installation procedure described in README does not apply to any Windows
platform.  To use this package on any Windows machine, it is recommended that
you install the binary package that is provided at:

http://www.securesw.com/rats/

To install the binary package, unzip it to a directory of your choosing, and
add that directory to your PATH.  You will also need to have Expat installed
on your system and accessible from the PATH.  You can obtain source and Windows
binaries for Expat from:

http://expat.sourceforge.net/

Due to the way that the Windows shell handles wildcards differently
than a Unix based system, there is an additional flag (-R) that can be
used instead to recurse directories.

A big thanks to Mike Ellison for providing the legwork on the initial port of
rats-1.3 to the Win32 platform.

If you do want to build RATS on a Windows platform, you will need to have Expat
installed, of course.  A Microsoft Visual C++ project is included in the source
distribution.  Place EXPAT.LIB and EXPAT.H into the RATS source directory, and
build using the MSVC IDE.
