I just tried out idraw on a sun from /mit/iv/installed/bin/SUN4/idraw
and it crapped out w/ a bus error.
I see you've discovered the essence of Interviews. :-) The truth is
that nobody works on it anymore. The original group that did it has
long since punted it for the `FResco' stuff that shipped with X11R6.
Someone here in sipb recently started work on a full build from
scratch with the most recent sources. They could never have compiled
correctly, anywhere, under any system whatsoever. The function names
are not the same from one file to the next. the include files are not
actually included everywhere that they're needed. It's a mess.
That said, someone was working on it, and there is some hope that a
usable version will come of this work at some time in the future. I
wish I could give you better news. :-/
