The files in this directory are used to help build CRISP on
a Vax. Unfortunately I dont know how to distribute the CRISP
sources in such a way that the build under VMS is painless. So
here are some notes to make life easy.

1. Directory Layout.
   When I build CRISP on VMS, I make the directory layout flat.
   You want a directory, eg [.crisp] with the following
   files in it: (using the Unix file-system layout):
   
    *.com
    *.h
    *.c
    dirlib/vms*
    foxlib/*.[ch]
    llist/*[ch]
    splay/*[ch]
    
2. Create a subdirectory [.etc] and put the termcap file in it,
   with the name crisp_library:[etc]termcap.dat.
   
   Create a subdirectory crisp_library:[help]
   
   Create a subdirectory crisp_library:[macros]
   
3. CRISP needs the logical name crisp_library to be set up. A default
   value is given in the file vms.c. You may need to change this.
   
4. Type:

   @make
   
   to build the binaries.

      
5. You want to copy the login.com and crisp.com files into your
   login.com or somehow arrange for them to be executed so that
   your terminal type is set up.
   
6. Having built the crisp binary you know need to install the
   compiled macro binaries. The simplest thing to do is copy
   the binaries from a Unix system to the crisp_library:[macros]
   directory. The binaries are machine independent.

7. CRISP currently creates its undo files in the [.-] directory.
   You will need to manually purge these files.
   
Please bear in mind I do not know VMS too well, and so I have tried
to do some of the donkey work for you so that it will compile. If
you have success in installing this and manage to get the logical
names all sorted out or have any suggestions to improve the
installation procedure, then please let me know.
