Running AT&T SV/386 R3.2.2 and Simultask 2.0 (a.k.a. VP/ix 1.01.00). 
Attempt to install an application using FACE.  Filled out all the boxes
and hit SAVE.  Then I get the VP/ix error message "Cannot open file for
saving virtual PC state."  This happens twice and pops me back to VP/ix
which says, "continue.com did not create /tmp/csNNN" where NNN is a
3-digit number.

/tmp is owned by root with mode 777.  What gives??

Incidentally, /tmp was originally drwxrwxrwt.  Why would one want a
sticky directory???

Thanks,
Pete
