This is a port of mktemp 1.7 to MSDOS/DJGPP.
mktemp is a simple utility designed to make temporary file handling
in shells scripts be safe and simple. It is compatible with the one
that comes with coreutils. Because a port of GNU coreutils is not
available but certain test suites require a mktemp program to create
their temporary output files this tool has been ported.
DJGPP specific changes.
=======================
- There are no DJGPP specific user visible changes.
- This is the first port that has been compiled using djdev205. Starting
with this port version I will no longer support neither djdev204 nor djdev203.
- The port has been tested by using it. I have used them only on WinXP.
It has worked flawlessly. I do not kwon if this will ever be the case on
FreeDOS. I have never used/tested them in that environment.
- The port has been configured and compiled on WinXP SP3. There is no
guarantee that this may be possible with any other DOS-like OS. Due
to the use of long file names it will not be possible to configure
and compile without LFN support. The port has been compiled using
gcc510 and bnu225br2.
As usual, all djgpp specific files (diffs, README files, etc.) are stored in
the /djgpp directory. The sources have been configured to be build in the
/_build.205 directory. If for some reason it does not work for you, delete
it contents and configure from scratch again.
For further information about mktemp please read the info docs and NEWS file.
The port consists of the usual two packages produced using djdev205
that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (time stamp 2015-08-01):

Send mktemp specific bug reports to <http://www.mktemp.org/bugs/>.
Send suggestions and bug reports concerning the DJGPP port
to comp.os.msdos.djgpp or <djgpp AT delorie DOT com>.
If you are not sure if the failure is really a mktemp failure
or a djgpp specific failure, report it here and *not* to
<http://www.mktemp.org/bugs/>. The author is not aware of
what I have done.
Enjoy.
