Hi Rags,

Thank you. This is what I want to do. I will take a look at the
Makefile for dev86 to see how to specify the install directory.
I assume I will have to do one or more of these things:
  a. edit the Makefile, 
  b. set an environment variable,
  c. or pass an argument to the make command
Is that correct?

Regards,
Phil
