hmm, I don't think this will help very much, if the user (as I do)
points his %TMP% and/or %TEMP% to the ramdrive, or maybe doesn't even
set his %TEMP% at all (dos < v7 doesn't set %TEMP% to something, if
you don't specify it, right?) A better alternative would be (i think)
to just use
[tar]
TMPDIR=%DJDIR%/tmp

hth,
 Robert
