2This directory contains the source and the binary version of a Windows 
3utility to remove all non-owner Access Control Entries from a given file.
4
5The tool is used by regression tests in the following directories :-
6
7test/sun/management/jmxremote/bootstrap
8test/sun/management/snmp/bootstrap
9
10The tests in these directories create password or ACL files that need to
11be "secured" (meaning that only the owner should have access to the 
12files). 
13
14Both the source and the binary version are checked into SCCS. If
15you require to make changes to the tool then you need to Visual
16C++ to rebuild revokeall.exe after changing the source.
17
18To rebuild the tool you need to setup your environment (by
19calling the VC++ VCVARS32.BAT script), and then executing the 
20following command :-
21
22cl /mt revokeall.c advapi32.lib
23
24This will generate revokeall.exe.
25
26Note that a 32-bit version of revokeall.exe is checked into SCCS
27- this 32-bit application is also used when running on 64-bit
28versions of Windows (AMD64 and IA64).
