	Just a brief comment...I might point out that, concerning temp
files, there *is* a routine in the standard UNIX* library that does this;
in section 3:

FILE *tmpfile()

It will "create a temp file, return a file pointer, and "arrange" for the file
to be deleted when the process terminates."

There are also routines which will simply generate unique temporary file
names (mktemp(3C) and tmpnam(3S), leaving all the work to your program.
