Some unix-based systems have functions in their C libraries, or stdio.h, that provide access to temporary files within a program. Unfortunately, Umax 4.2 doesn't seem to. As I am porting some programs I wrote on another system to this machine, I would prefer to keep that code as close to the original as possible, and maybe only add a #include to give the now-undefined functions an identity. Before I go wading into the turbid waters of unique-filename-generation on my own, I'd like to know if anyone's done this on an Encore before. --Blair "It's not a particularly tough problem, just a bother."

The routine is mktemp(3). This is the standard 4.2 function for temporary files. -- -- Mark Guzzi Encore Computer Corporation guzzi@encore.com (or guzzi@multimax.encore.com)
