>1)      is "numerical recipes in C" PD, Shareware or $$$$$$$
None of the above.  It is book, published by the Oxford University
Press for 40-some dollars.  The programs listed in it can be obtained
in machine readable form for another 20 or so.

See above.

I have no idea, but you can always eliminate the ``games'' at the cost
of a small amount of storage.

>4)      will it work (at all?) better with sysV or UCB compilers/libs ?
I am using it on a Sun 3/50 (BSD) with both cc and GNU cc.  'Tworks
fine.
