Description Romang 2005-09-01 05:10:02 UTC

Hello,

Take a look on src/programs/make_quests/cmd_ln.c :

111         { "-tempfn",
112           CMD_LN_STRING,
113           CMD_LN_NO_VALIDATION,
114           "/tmp/TEMP.QUESTS",
115           "File to write temprorary results to (important)" },

Regards.

The program does not appear to use this option for any purpose, and therefore 
will never create that file, even if the user let it use the default.

closing as INVALID.
