Perhaps the `tempfile' name was a bad choice. Should appropriate symlinks to `mktemp' be considered (or a companion `mktemp' helper if the invocation syntax differs) for closer OpenBSD compatibility? Since the `tempfile' helper was introduced for hamm, a name change to `mktemp' might be still feasable, but that would disrupt the hamm freeze. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
