SUMMARY
=======

When you create an Audit rule file for a package that scans for multiple files,
the Audit will fail to report the package if the files you specified are found
in different subdirectories.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem
------------------------------

1. Create an Audit rule file similar to the following:

        package 0 "MY Application"
           file "Myapp.exe"
           file "Mydll.dll"

2. Follow the proper steps for creating and distributing an Audit package.

If Myapp.exe is found in a different directory than Mydll.dll, both Audit16.exe
and Audit32.exe fail to report the package. Audit16.exe creates a .nhm file that
does not contain a group for Audited Software. Audit32.exe does not create a
.nhm file.

STATUS
======

This is by product design.
