[MINC-users] miwriteimage on pc (fwd)

[Jonathan HARLAP]

Just a guess, but try setting an environment variable TMPDIR to wherever 
you want it to put temp files.

In unix if you use csh or tcsh as your shell, it's as simple as
"setenv TMPDIR /tmp"

If you use bash then "export TMPDIR=/tmp"

If you're in Windows, then you can look at this FAQ to see how to do 
it...  http://www.chem.gla.ac.uk/~louis/software/faq/q1.html

Cheers,
Jon
