Hello John: I see your concern about messing around with the DJGPP.ENV
file, but there is one change I have been making for a long time with
apparently no ill effects and I wish you would correct me if I am doing
something wrong.
I changed:
+TMPDIR=%DJDIR%/tmp
to
+TMPDIR=D:/ [D:/ is a ramdrive]
I only did this because it "SEEMS RIGHT". I think I read somewhere that
DJGPP.ENV in this case ignores this line anyway if you have a tmpdir
allocated in your autoexec.bat file. But I just changed the line to be sure.
Would you comment on this?
DJVERIFY shows me that my tmpdir works just fine when I compile the test
file. Also my compiles work as expected.
Thanks,
Ralph
