I still do not see how the script could work without changing
the URL on the website from (presently) org-5.16b.tar.gz to
org.tar.gz. The actual version could be displayed in
parentheses, couldn't it ?

No, I made my trial in my home directory as you have suggested.
In spite of a check with ``echo $DIR'' I must have made an error
somewhere because no directory had been generated.
Today it has worked alright.
