I didn't know about that, because on win32 there is a problem with deleting open files. On unix systems (probably most or all of them) you can delete file and when last handle is closed kernel automatically removes file - it's great solution. Anyway, same people on unix (in same cases) first open temp file, then remove it and then use it - no one could do anything with your file. Tom On Fri, 9 Sep 2005, Greer, Joe wrote:
While you are thinking about this stuff, keep in mind that some OSes such as win32 have the ability to open a file as temporary and will automatically delete it when the last handle is closed. It would be nice if that could be exploited by whatever interface is decided upon.
