| 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"' | |
