Default in most MS-DOSes, I'm affraid... You don't have to

How about creating Arachne's own TEMP directory? Like what
you currently do with MAIL and CACHE

I don't think so, that was the only way to emulate the default
TEMP behavior in non-MS DOSes.

Well, when I was first received CLR.BAT, I activate it for
the first time with Undelete Sentry turned-on. Just in case
if it's doing something bad to my HD (didn't have Prof Timo's
batch stuff yet, back then). I removed the undelete TSR
later, that was after cca. 60 F8s or so... Yes, deleting
cache was awfully slow! ;-)

Yes, please: Create Arachne's own TEMP dir! Just to be
sure ;-)
