VARKON Version 1.15 1997-10-16
Environment variable
Description
Environment variable used by VARKON to place temporary files. Files
created in $VARKON_TMP are normally removed automatically when no longer
needed. Should any files be found in $VARKON_TMP when VARKON is not running
it is suggested you remove them.
Comments
If VARKON_TMP is not defined a hard coded default will be used.
If VARKON_TMP points to a non existent directory or if read and write permissions
to $VARKON_TMP are missing the result is unpredictable.
It can be a good idea to use /tmp (UNIX) or C:\TEMP (Windows95) for VARKON_TMP
since these directories are usually on the local macine (not on a networked
fileserver) and are also used by other programs. Doing this can produce
less trafic on a network and make it easier to perform periodic clean up
of unused files.
