Some clarification on CRISP. CRISP is only available on UNIX platforms. It is
going to be available for NT in the very near future and maybe under 
WIN-3.1 - (big maybe).

And yes, it is true that CRISP does all that BRIEF does plus a ton more. It 
a full GUI product, however has a character version too. One can run existing
BRIEF macros in CRISP.

I am sure it will, atleast under DOS, and then from their one can go ahead 
with CRISP.
