I was thinking of making a (script) frontend to LaTeX to get the desired output (PS usually) but *not* have the extra temporary junk lying around. What I was thinking of was create a temp directory (using some well-tested method) and cd to it. Run LaTeX from there and then copy out the files I really want to keep. Then I would clean up the junk afterwards. Maybe the same sort of option is available for you? -D
