   No can do.  Because /tmp is a share server directory.  I can only 
delete file that I owned.  Besides, I ran the server in non detach mode
and it does not create any files (that I can tell) in /tmp
   Is there a way of making crossfire not use /tmp disk at all?  I rather
create a temporary directory somewhere safe and save the temp data there.
On our server if the /tmp is full it could bring the entire server down 
and I do not want that to happen.
   Oh, kudos to who ever did the XPM stuffs; it's awesome.  Sometime it's
hard to see the foreground archetypes because it "bleed" with the background.
Maybe, if all the foreground archetypes would have a dark boundary drawn
around it, it will makes viewing a lot better.  Just a suggestion. :-)
