I wrote a short program that goes in and deletes every file in that .501 folder on my MacPro (or G4 laptop). If I don't delete those and I run the IDE several times a day I accumulate a LOT of temp files. (I get 239 of them in a single run). Deleting them doesn't see to bother anything that I have found. However with the new UB version I also get TempSave files in my projects folder. Which I also delete with glee because they proliferate if I don't. I haven't tested out the PPC IDE for 2007R1 because in my mind compilers aren't supposed to leave files like breads crumbs laying around. Someone needs to add a short clean-sub to the CancelClose event in the UB IDE..:-) My own bug fixing axiom: "The amount of time it takes to fix a bug is inversely proportional to the amount of time it took to find it."
