This extremely annoying, unnecessary problem also plagues the AdvanceCOMP DOS ports as well:

These utilities are indespensible. Recompiling from souce after having eliminated the LFN Temporary files requirement seems like a nightmare, especially since no make file is provided. The source indicates that .tmp files are appended with the Unix elapsed time since the epoch began, and this makes all such temporary files created > 8.3 chars. Needless, and stupid!
