I have a small problem with PCELM which I hope someone out there in
developer land can help me with. 

We have a mail forwarding account to our school via a Demon node. I am
trying to put PCElm to onto the school network so the kids can have
cheap access to the internet.( Its LAN manager (using OS/2 v1.3
[Microsoft!])beleive it or not). I've put all mailboxes in a single
directory as usual and have written a short CPP program to act as a
pretty front end (setting mailbox name, pasword authentication etc).

The problem is that as most of the network drives are read only
(including the pcelm directory) - when pcelm fires up it checks to see
if a file mailbox.txt exists - if not it creates it (this works fine).
However, if this file does exist, it create a temporary file somewhere
(I can find it) - it seems to do this on a read only drive, flashes up
an error "tmpfile could not create..." and exits.

Can anyone with the PCElm source see where this occurs (setting TMP=...
does not work either - its only used in MIME decompression). I would be
very grateful - if it is fixable I will try to persuade the network
manager to fork out the 50UKP for the source (this is alot of money for
a school!)

Many thanks in advance
