I posted the above code in response to another problem. After posting, I 
noticed that the string getenv returns for TEMP does not match the value 
of TEMP on my system. Typing set shows:

TEMP=C:\DOCUME~1\asu1\LOCALS~1\Temp
TMP=C:\DOCUME~1\asu1\LOCALS~1\Temp

whereas getenv("TEMP") returns c:\windows\temp.

I am using XP Pro. I do have the v2.03 refresh distribution installed. 
What might be the reason?

Sinan.
