/***************************************************************************************
|
|
Stata uses the directory that is set by your computer to be the temporary directory
|
|
by default. The environment variable STATATMP can be set to specific directory that
|
|
Stata should use for the temporary directory. If you want to have certain programs
|
|
that call -tmpdir- to use yet another directory for temporary files you can set
|
|
the location of that temporary directory here with the local macro variable tmpdir.
|
|
|
|
If for some reason tmpdir.ado was unable to figure out what the pathname is,
|
|
enter the name without spaces in the name. For example:
|
|
local tmpdir=`"c:\Documents and Settings\dan\Local Settings\temp"'
|
|
should be set using short file names (first 6 characters, plus "~1" or "~2" , etc. :
|
|
local tmpdir=`"c:\Docume~1\dan\LocalS~1\temp"'
|
|
