Hi Dwight,

Do you have a PHTEMP environment variable set?  This should contain the path
of the temporary directory for the PowerHouse components to use.  If you
want to shorten the pathname, why not create a symbolic link from the root
directory to /home/richards/phxxxx.tmp (call it something short like t1)
then set PHTEMP to be /t1.  Alternatively, there may be some setting for the
RH shell to use longer pathnames, but I guess you need an RH expert to tell
you if/how it can be done.

Best regards,

Mark Fry

Does any one know what system call is made to acquire the path/directory for
phxxxx.tmp/quizsave.qzs etc.. under Powerhouse for Unix.  I've been running
the SCO 733c6 version under Red Hat Linux successfully under versions 5.0
through 7.2.  RH 7.3 just came out, and for some reason when I fire up
quiz,qtp,qshow or qdesign, I get "Filename too long (quizsave)".  The full
path is '/home/richards/phxxxx.tmp/quizsave.qzs' Quick runs ok.  I have a
support call into Red Hat but thought I might try here as well.
