Maybe that problem is related to special characters in the path like blank
spaces. The temp path returned by the C function (tmppath ?) depends of the
OS. Under NT I think it's the user temp path (C:\Documents and Settings\<User
name>\Local Settings\Temp). Under 95/98 I think it's something like
C:\WINDOWS\Temp.
