Change this file to describe what it is, instead of how to write your
own interviews application. It's only one line long (I couldn't find any suitable paragraph I can cut and paste from in the source tree) but at least it is a description of the port now. Closes PR ports/1517.

-* How to use InterViews
-
-After installation, you can start using InterViews by putting the following
-lines in your .cshrc:
-
- setenv CPU FREEBSD
- setenv MANPATH $MANPATH:/usr/local/interviews/man
- setenv PATH $PATH:/usr/local/interviews/bin/$CPU
-
-Once you have /usr/local/interviews/bin/$CPU in your PATH, you can use the
-InterViews script "ivmkmf" to generate Makefiles for your own
-InterViews applications. You have to write an Imakefile first, but
-you can do that by copying one of the Imakefiles in iv/src/bin and
-replacing the filenames with the names of your application's source
-files. Saying "ivmkmf" will generate a Makefile that contains the
-appropriate -I and -L flags for using the InterViews includes and
-libraries when building your application.
-
-* How to write an Imakefile
-
-The easiest way to write an Imakefile is to start with a copy of a
-similar Imakefile and modify it. If you use only 3.1 classes, you can
-copy alert's Imakefile. If you use both 3.1 and 2.6 classes, you can
-copy doc's Imakefile. If you use only 2.6 classes, you can copy dclock's
-Imakefile. If you use the Unidraw library, you can copy idraw's
-Imakefile. Reading the config files to understand how the rules are
-defined will also help if you need to do anything complicated.
-
-Some make variables are reserved for your application's use. You can
-compile your application with special compiler flags, defines,
-includes, linker flags, or libraries by setting APP_CCFLAGS,
-APP_CCDEFINES, APP_CCINCLUDES, APP_CCLDFLAGS, or APP_CCLDLIBS in your
-Imakefile. You can make your application depend on libraries by
-setting APP_CCDEPLIBS.
-
-You can cause your application to be linked with InterViews libraries
-bu using one and only one of the macros Use_libInterViews(),
-Use_libUnidraw(), and Use_libgraphic(). Both libUnidraw and
-libgraphic depend on libInterViews so saying Use_libUnidraw() or
-Use_libgraphic() makes saying Use_libInterViews() unnecessary. You
-cannot say both Use_libUnidraw() and Use_libgraphic() because
-libUnidraw and libgraphic conflict with each other. All of these
-macros also add -lXext -lX11 -lm to CCLDLIBS for you.
-
-If your application uses classes from the "old" InterViews 2.6,
-Unidraw, or graphic libraries, you should use the macro Use_2_6() as
-well as one of the macros Use_libInterViews(), Use_libUnidraw(), or
-Use_libgraphic(). Many 3.1 classes have the same names as 2.6 classes
-so the shorter names are reserved for the 3.1 classes and the 2.6
-classes' names are prefixed with "iv2_6_". The macro Use_2_6() allows
-you to use the classes' shorter 2.6 names instead of their real names
-and their shorter include paths (<InterViews/*.h>) instead of their
-real include paths (<IV-2_6/InterViews/*.h>. If you want to use
-both 3.1 and 2.6 classes in the same application, you will
-need to omit Use_2_6() and use the 2.6 classes' real names and
-include paths.
-
-You can use the macro ComplexProgramTarget(dest) to build a program.
-The parameter specifies the name you want the program to have after
-it's installed. The make variable $(AOUT), which defaults to "a.out,"
-specifies the name the program will have when it's built. The make
-variable $(OBJS), which defaults to "*.o," specifies the list of
-object code files which must be linked together. You don't have to
-define either $(AOUT) or $(OBJS) in the Imakefile because the
-generated Makefile will assign default values to them. You don't have
-to define the list of object files in $(OBJS) because the Imakefile
-will generate dependencies between the program and its object code
-files of the form
-
-a.out:
-$(CC) $(OBJS)
-
-a.out: a.o
-a.out: b.o
-a.out: c.o
-
-which is equivalent to the traditional form
-
-a.out: a.o b.o c.o
-$(CC) $(OBJS)
-
-You will define these dependencies automatically when you use the
-macros MakeObjectFromSrc(file) and MakeObjectFromSrcFlags(file, flags)
-for each source file in the program. Each source file must have its
-own rule (hence the macro) because the implicit make rule cannot
-compile source files which are not in the current directory. However,
-you won't have to specify the name of the source file again in any
-other place in the Imakefile.
-
-You should surround the Imakefile with the following lines,
-
-#ifdef InObjectCodeDir
- <contents>
- #else
- MakeInObjectCodeDir()
- #endif
-
-so that saying "make Makefiles" will create a subdirectory in which to
-put the object code files. You do not have to use these lines, but if
-you do not you will not be able to build optimized, debuggable, and
-non-shared object code files alongside of each other in separate
-subdirectories. You also will not be able to build object code files
-for different machine architectures alongside of each other in
-separate subdirectories. On the SPARCstation, such object code
-directories will have the names SUN4, SUN4.debug, and SUN4.noshared
-(the latter two will be created only if you use a special make
-command, see below).
-
-After you finish writing your Imakefile, saying "ivmkmf" will generate
-the corresponding Makefile. Then you can say "make Makefiles; make
-depend; make all" to build your program. If you make a new change to
-the Imakefile, all you have to do is to say "make Makefile"---you
-don't have to use "ivmkmf" again.
-
-Saying "make Makefiles.debug" and/or "make Makefiles.noshared" will
-create the special object code subdirectories and saying "make
-depend.debug", "make depend.noshared", "make all.debug", or "make
-all.noshared" will build in them just like the normal subdirectories.
-Note that the Makefile will provide the "make *.noshared" targets only
-if you're on a computer which has shared libraries (currently we
-support only SunOS shared libraries).
-
-If you write a Makefile by hand instead of writing an Imakefile,
-you'll have to specify everything that make needs to know. For
-example, you'll have to specify the -I and -L flags needed to use the
-InterViews includes and libraries when compiling your application.
-You'll also have to specify any extra flags that your system may need
-even though you may have to change them when building on a different
-system (when you use an Imakefile, the platform-specific X11 .cf file
-specifies these flags for you so they don't have to be in the
-Imakefile).

-* How to stay tuned
-
-If you have a bug report, please send it to
-
-interviews-bugs@interviews.stanford.edu
-
-If you have any questions or problems, please post them in the USENET
-newsgroup
-
- comp.windows.interviews
-
-If you do not have access to news and you wish to be on the InterViews
-mailing list which is gatewayed with comp.windows.interviews, send a
-request to
-
-interviews-requests@interviews.stanford.edu
-
-The mailing list alias is
-
-interviews@interviews.stanford.edu
-
-Please post to only the newsgroup or only the mailing list but not
-both since whatever you post in one will appear in the other too.
+Interviews is a toolkit with lots of nice utilities (like idraw).
