We could, although I prefer to keep cross-platform differences as small as possible and to stick to standards compliant functions where possible. This tends to make dealing with new platforms easier. Judging from what I have read I think that the (windows specific) O_TEMPORARY and O_SHORT_LIVED options translate to windows API calls anyway. If this proves to be a problem then we may have to revert to your suggestion. As I say, I don't have easy access to a windows development environment to test this on so I'm reliant on feedback.
