- I don't know if this will help, but I've been told never to set
- the TEMP (or TMP) variable to a root directory, as you seem to
- have done here. This can sometimes cause problems. You might
- make a TEMP directory under the root and set TEMP to that. Who
- knows--it might help. Good luck. Chris Loschen, Brandeis U.
