mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

["Dan Martens" <address@hidden>]

The /tmp directory is cleaned out when the program starts.  It contains alot 
of data leftover from image processing commands etc. I suppose something 
should be done about possibly cleaning this out on program exit.  I will 
look into this and let you know.  Until such time, you can always clear it 
manually.  I will probably have a build out for this tomorrow and I will 
post a message to the users group.
I apologize for this, but TeXmacs was never designed for tight resource 
environments.
