I write software in the past, but "in house" software. Problematic are the same with distributed software, and I'm agree with you.
But Ingres is now an old software, with many qualities and some issues, like every others software ... I suggest you contribute to the code to correct that :-) JP 2006/12/3, Richard Troy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Heck, even Windows has C:\TEMP (or varriant thereof). There's NOTHING that should go into any ole random directory - ever! - without good cause for it to be the local current directory of the user. It's not as if it doesn't/can't know where its disk space is! I don't know if you write software or not, but I do, and I would be embarassed beyond belief if any code I wrote behaved this way. Anyway, in short, it impacts usability (without cause) and is therefore a usability bug (presuming one ranks the severity of bugs).
