The problems are most probably with TMPDIR, not with TEMP or TMP.  
DJGPP.ENV by default sets TMPDIR to the tmp subdirectory of the main 
installation directory.  In this case, that happens to be on the CD, 
which is a Bad Thing.

To solve this, set TMPDIR in the environment (e.g., in your AUTOEXEC.BAT 
file), like this:

	set TMPDIR=c:/windows/temp

(make sure that the named directory exists).  Setting TMPDIR in the 
environment overrides the default setting.
