	I haven't received my 5.0 yet, but is it possible to use the tmpnam()
(and similar broken-or-missing-in-5.0-functions) from the v3.6 libraries?
	I know the library format is different, but is it possible to use the
Manx librarian program (obd, or some similarly cryptic name) to extract the
old one, and then use the 5.0 version of the librarian to re-install it in
the 5.0 libraries??

	Or am I being overly wishful here?
