+What Is XView
+-------------
+XView (X Window-System-based Visual/Integrated Environment for
+Workstations) is a user-interface toolkit to support interactive,
+graphics-based applications running under the X Window System. XView
+provides a set of pre-built, user-interface objects such as canvases,
+scrollbars, menus, and control panels. The appearance and functionality
+of these objects follow the OPEN LOOK Graphical User Interface (GUI)
+specification. XView features an object-oriented style Application
+Programmer's Interface (API) that is straightforward and easy to learn.
+
+This package does not contain anything by itself -- it is a "meta-package"
+that depends on other XView packages. Its sole purpose is to require
+dependencies so users can install this package only and have all the XView
+stuff pulled in by the port/package dependency mechanism.
