I have a programmer here who is writing a C program in Microsoft C.
He wants to set the DOS TMP variable to H:\ which is a PC-NFS mounted
directory where the C source code is located.  Apparently the TMP
variable tells the compiler where to write temporary files while 
it's compiling.  When he does this he gets errors when the program is 
compiling.  The errors say something about not being able to find the 
temporary files that are supposed to be created on the TMP directory.
When he changes the TMP variable to be C:\ or D:\ then it works
correctly.  Microsoft didn't seem to have a clue about what could 
be causing this problem.  Does anyone out there know of a reason 
why PC-NFS may not allow Microsoft C to operate in this way?

Thanks,
