[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Absoft Fortran and SysEnvirons call?

jim@insect.berkeley.edu (02/24/90)

I am (beta) testing an application written in Absoft FORTRAN.
As currently written,  the application fails on Appleshare server
because it tries to write (small) temp files to the locked server disk
in the directory where the application is installed.

It would seem that the application should be modified to try to
write the temp files to the user's System Folder,  if the write to
the server fails.

QUESTION:
 I have never seen the docs for Absoft Fortran.  Anyone know if
 it can do a SysEnvirons call to look up the system folder index number
 and then create it's temp files using that number?

I would like to suggest a robust solution to this problem to the developer,
otherwise this application will not be useable on write-protected
Appleshare servers.

Thanks,
