Some points of view. Possible places: a) the temp directory b) the home directory c) the directory where the datafile is stored Some thoughts about it. c) may be not available because the data is not saved at that moment b) could be. Although creating "Application Data/PSPP " and placing them there seems to be more Windows like. Anything would the home directory has to be checked as I beleave Microsoft changed something with this in Vista. a) looks somehow the easiest but there are objections against. Following the Unix way, it should be B. (or the B+ as described above) >If this algorithm were used to pick the default location for PSPP >output files, would that be a worthwhile improvement? YES Have fun
