* Ralf Fassel | | Does it work to pass the contents of the file on stdin instead of | | the file name as an argument? | | | | external_program < "$TMPFILE" | | Duh. This should work in 95% of the cases. In the other cases file | size of TMPFILE is involved, so redirection would not work as-is.
Turns out that in most cases where a TMPFILE is required, it is actually two temp files, and the temp file is the second input for the program in question (stdin is the first). So I guess we will change all the scripts to use a different env-Variable when constructing the temp file name, and set that variable on startup in the base-shell.
