Dear AOLserver community
There was a problem with "ns_tmpnam", when the aolserver was compiled under
windows (esp. Vista). The Tcl command"ns_tmpnam" is implemented in C
using tmpnam(), which exists under WIN32, but behaves differently
as on unix counterparts and is practically unusable. The problem is
that tmnam() under Windows generates a filename for the root directory
of the
actual drive (at least under Vista, no permissions under normal
conditions) and
ignores the TMP environment variable.
See some background info form Microsoft:

I have commited a patch to CVS head to address this problem.
http://aolserver.cvs.sourceforge.net/aolserver/aolserver/nsd/tclfile.c?r1=1.25&r2=1.26
The patch is local and documents the intended behavior and background in
detail.
Please crosscheck.
best regards
