Under version 4 I have implemented a general scratch area using an identifier
SCRATCH_SPACE which all users hold in resource mode.  It has a limited but
large quota on a suitable device.  Files owned by that identifier SCRATCH_SPACE
disapppear after the guarenteed residency period.  To make life easir
for people we provide a concealed root logical DISK$SCRATCH containing a
directory for each user owned by SCRATCH_SPACE but with an appropriate ACL
set on it to let the appropirate user have ACCESS=R+W+E+D+C on the file.

I am giving a talk on the subject a DECUS in Anaheim if you will be there.
