That's does not seem to be true, based on how I read the code, the preprocessing is done in the work directory, but it's done in every tiger run. If you modify the RC file, then the preprocessed rc file will also be modified. > So there's no way to change the work directory without modifying the > package (or one of its read-only files). I'd consider that to be a bug. Which read-only file? You can use the '-w' switch to change the working directory for tiger in any run. It defaults to 'run/' (relative path) so that people running the package (in other OSes) do not need to have it installed. > Fix: use $(tempfile) for the above file name. That fix is not useful. Tempfile is not available in all the different systems that Tiger can run on. > NB: Using "/tmp/tiger.$$" as a temporary working directory is a security > problem. I was already aware of this, but thank you. Javier
