Subject:  14 character file names

Is there a way to convince AMS to use 14 character file names?  If not
is there a way to get AMS to not use one's home file system?

Thanks,
Dale.

The AndrewSetup option ``AMS_UseShortFileNames: yes'' should convince
AMS to limit the length of its generated file name components to 14
characters.

Unfortunately, there's no way at present to convince it not to invent
file names in /tmp, or maybe even /usr/tmp.
