-
-==============================================================================
-1. Introduction						*workshop-intro*
-
-Sun Visual WorkShop has an "Editor of Choice" feature designed to let users
-debug using their favorite editors.  For the 6.0 release we have added support
-for gvim.  A workshop debug session will have a debugging window and an editor
-window (possibly others as well).  The user can do many debugging operations
-from the editor window, minimizing the need to switch from window to window.
-
-The version of vim shipped with Sun Visual WorkShop 6 (also called Forte
-Developer 6) is vim 5.3.  The features in this release are much more reliable
-than the vim/gvim shipped with Visual WorkShop.  VWS users wishing to use vim
-as their editor should compile these sources and install them in their
-workshop release tree.
-
-==============================================================================
-2. Commands						*workshop-commands*
-
-						*:ws* *:wsverb*
-:ws[verb] verb			Pass the verb to the verb executor
-
-Pass the verb to a workshop function which gathers some arguments and
-sends the verb and data to workshop over an IPC connection.
-
-==============================================================================
-3. Compiling vim/gvim for WorkShop			*workshop-compiling*
-
-Compiling vim with FEAT_SUN_WORKSHOP turns on all compile time flags necessary
-for building a vim to work with Visual WorkShop.  The features required for VWS
-have been built and tested using the Sun compilers from the VWS release.  They
-have not been built or tested using Gnu compilers.  This does not mean the
-features won't build and run if compiled with gcc, just that nothing is
-guaranteed with gcc!
+The support for WorkShop was removed in patch 8.1.0763 in January 2019.
+The product has not been available for a long time and has been replaced by
+|NetBeans|.
 
-==============================================================================
-4. Configuring gvim for a WorkShop release tree		*workshop-configure*
-
-There are several assumptions which must be met in order to compile a gvim for
-use with Sun Visual WorkShop 6.
-
-    o You should use the compiler in VWS rather than gcc.  We have neither
-      built nor tested with gcc and cannot guarantee it will build properly.
-
-    o You must supply your own XPM library.  See |workshop-xpm| below for
-      details on obtaining the latest version of XPM.
-
-    o Edit the Makefile in the src directory and uncomment the lines for Sun
-      Visual WorkShop.  You can easily find these by searching for the string
-      FEAT_SUN_WORKSHOP
-
-    o We also suggest you use Motif for your gui.  This will provide gvim with
-      the same look-and-feel as the rest of Sun Visual WorkShop.
-
-The following configuration line can be used to configure vim to build for use
-with Sun Visual WorkShop:
-
-    $ CC=cc configure --enable-workshop --enable-gui=motif \
-	-prefix=<VWS-install-dir>/contrib/contrib6/<vim-version>
-
-The VWS-install-dir should be the base directory where your Sun Visual WorkShop
-was installed.  By default this is /opt/SUNWspro.  It will normally require
-root permissions to install the vim release.  You will also need to change the
-symlink <VWS-install-dir>/bin/gvim to point to the vim in your newly installed
-directory.  The <vim-version> should be a unique version string.  I use "vim"
-concatenated with the equivalent of version.h's VIM_VERSION_SHORT.
-
-==============================================================================
-5. Obtaining the latest version of the XPM library	*workshop-xpm*
-
-The XPM library is required to show images within Vim with Motif or Athena.
-Without it the toolbar and signs will be disabled.
-
-The XPM library is provided by Arnaud Le Hors of the French National Institute
-for Research in Computer Science and Control.  It can be downloaded from
-http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libXpm.  The current release, as of this
-writing, is xpm-3.4k-solaris.tgz, which is a gzip'ed tar file.  If you create
-the directory /usr/local/xpm and untar the file there you can use the
-uncommented lines in the Makefile without changing them.  If you use another
-xpm directory you will need to change the XPM_DIR in src/Makefile.
