Has anyone gotten the subroutine 'mktempdir' to work with Manx 5.0? I know it's not in c.lib (unless I did something stupid). Is it in an object file somewhere, or is it just missing? Thanks, ********************************** Corey Gehman cg377170@eng.clemson.edu

You can use tmpnam() to create a temporary name, but even that routine is a little brain-damaged. I suggest rolling your own. -- -- uunet!sugar!karl "As long as there is a legion of superheros, all else -- can surely be made right." -- Sensor Girl -- Usenet access: (713) 438-5018

Fortunately it's in the 3.6a source and only requires one little modification, could someone who has acces to bix, let Manx know about this oversight. Thanks.

I haven't received my 5.0 yet, but is it possible to use the tmpnam() (and similar broken-or-missing-in-5.0-functions) from the v3.6 libraries? I know the library format is different, but is it possible to use the Manx librarian program (obd, or some similarly cryptic name) to extract the old one, and then use the 5.0 version of the librarian to re-install it in the 5.0 libraries?? Or am I being overly wishful here? -- Matt *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* % I wanna use Virtual Memory to create % mrush@csuchico.edu % % a giant RAM disk! % mrush@cscihp.UUCP % *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* This is a SCHOOL!
