   Well, it's new to me, only I can't seem to unpack it.  Part01 seems to
   say that running CRISP.Inst will do it all but it looks like I'd better
   unshar all the other parts first since the makefile part01 wants to run
   is in part22.  However, since it suggests I run it as root, can someone
   confirm that this is the right way to do it?  I don't like to run as
   root when I have a "reasonable doubt".

It seems that you DO have to either change CRISP.Inst or first unpack
and rename the CRISP distribution files in order to build it.  Another
BIG caveat: There are numerous places in the source where "/usr/local"
or some such path is hard-wired.  You might want to run a SED script
on the distribution to make sure everything goes where you want it to.
Good luck.
