I think the default DJGPP installation creates this directory because DJGPP's goal is to be as Unix compatible as possible, and the typical Unix script may assume /tmp to exist.

Unfortunately no. But I had previously to compile a unix package which needed /tmp. So I created it and never removed it afterwards.

Oh right, what I meant was $DJDIR/tmp, not /tmp... Frank -- Frank Heckenbach, frank@g-n-u.de, http://fjf.gnu.de/ GPC To-Do list, latest features, fixed bugs: http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~gnu-pascal/todo.html
