- My wife uses WFW 2.0a to edit textbook materials. I have a system with
- 16 MB of ram and NO SWAPFILE and have WFW set to created automatic
- backups every 10 minutes or so. When I look around after my wife has
- been using the system for a while I find lots of files with names ending
- with .tmp which I assume is either due to automatic backup or pasting.
- In any case, they should be deleted when WFW exits in my opinion. I
- have set temp which I forgot to mention. My wife always exits WFW via
- the menus so it is not due to reboots or the like. Any ideas as to what
- is causing this?
- thanks
