  13. I received many replies to my query as to how one redirects f77's choice
  14. of temporary directory.  Thank you all for taking the time to inform me.
  15. Here's a summary of answers:
  16.  
  17. use the option "f77 -temp=<directory> ..." which is the simplest.
  18. Although this is not in the man page, it appears when you enter
  19. f77 -help.
  20.  
  21. The TMPDIR environment variable does not work.
  22.  
  23. Use virtual memory (tmpfs) for the tmp directory.  I did not try this, 
  24. but several respondents said it does.
  25.  
  26. Thanks again.
