Re: [Nuweb-users] a compilation warning

[M. W. <ma...@as...>]

It's been a while since I tried to compile Nuweb, and even longer since I 
did it with GCC.  Using tempname did indeed cause a problem on my (Windows) 
machines, and I was running into trouble with GCC truncating filenames to 
8.3 uppercase.  Switching compilers solved the later problem, but I had to 
change the code for the former.
