INTRO
-----
       Version 2.0 is basically just the text version (i.e. 1.0)
with a Motif interface dropped on top.  The goal is to provide
easier script creation and adding, as well as a few new features.
Interested users should consult the Instructions.ps file for
a general guide on creating scripts with v2.0.

       Not covered in the instructions is the Convert script which
is intended to allow v1.0 users to port their scripts to v2.0
format.  The v2.0 format will be used in the final AVS/Motif
version.  The Convert script is simple to use:

Convert source_file dest_file

MAKING
------
       Type make to make everything, make clean to clean up
unnecessary stuff.

       For SGI users with Motif there should be no problems.
Other users may have problems with shared libraries (i.e.
they may not support shared libraries).  This can be worked
around by changing the libraries in the makefile to their
non-shared counterparts.  i.e. -lc_s would become -lc.
Non-Motif users are in a worse situation.  One solution is to
find Motif, compile a non-shared library executable, and copy
it to your machine.
