Apparently Arachne deleting all files in TEMP directory has attracted
unwanted attention :-(

Actually, I don't think this is a difficult problem to correct.
Just create a subdirectory under where the TEMP directory points to
and let Arachne use that as the TEMP directory.
SO IF TEMP points to C:\DOS (as it is stupidly assigned in MSDOS 5)
Arachne creates a subdirectory ARACHNE and sets
ARACHNETEMP=%TEMP%.\ARACHNE
and let Arachne use ARACHNETEMP only.
BTW, note the %TEMP%.\ARACHNE used instead of %TEMP%\ARACHNE
Here why from the Batfiles website at http://bigfoot.com/~batfiles
6. Use %temp%.\ (case is irrelevant) to represent the temp variable.
The temp variable can be set with or without a backslash, ie.
c:\temp or c:\temp\, which can be problematic when using the
variable in a batfile. Using temp%.\ will refer correctly to the
temp directory whether it has been set with a backslash or not. This
method can be used with any variable whose value is set to a directory.
