To make and install the toolkit, you should:
	1. Edit get/makefile and cnv/makefile to define the display 
	   devices you have at your site.  You may need to change 
	   library names or access paths
	2. Edit all the makefiles to set the DEST directory (probably
	   is not currently what you want.)
	3. Edit man/makefile to set the manual installation directory.
	4. Run 'make depend' in this directory.
	5. Run 'make' in this directory.
	6. Run 'make install' in this directory.
