Apparently it was a non-issue when I reported it. PAR does use temporary directories in 'doze environments, and whatever issue I had was addressed by the maintainer at the time. I believe I was told exactly where it does try to use temp directories, although I don't remember the specifics without looking through several gigs of email. :) So far as I know, it's a dead ticket. mark-> -- Fairlight-> ||| "People say they've heard about | Fairlight Consulting __/\__ ||| our deviation / but you've never | <__<>__> ||| looked so good..." --Le Bon | http://www.fairlite.com \/ ||| | [EMAIL PROTECTED]
