-what is it?
-===========
-
-Ida is a small and fast image viewer, motif-based.  For people who
-don't want the KDE/GNOME overhead.  Some basic editing functions are
-available too.
-
-
-build
-=====
-
-Check the INSTALL file for detailed build instructions.
-
-ida uses Motif 2.x features (utm, render tables).  This means you need
-openmotif, lesstif does *not* cut it.
-
-It also uses the usual graphics libraries (libtiff, libpng, libjpeg,
-...), you should have them installed to get support for these image
-formats.
-
-
-usage
-=====
-
-There is a manual page, check it out.

-what "ida" stands for?
-======================
-
-It is just a name.  The utility used to be named "iv" for "Image
-Viewer", but that gave lots of name clashes.  Its very likely that
-people name such a tool "iv", it is also used as shortcut for
-InterViews (remember Sun's Open Windows?).  So i decided to rename it.
-
-I looked for a short name starting with 'i' in a list for children
-first names.  I like "ida", so I picked this one.  It is a old, german
-name.

-
-Have fun,
-
-  Gerd
