Hi William,

unlink($_) if $bak.IO:e & $bak.IO:f;

Interesting!  Thank you.

The problem is that you can not implicitly trust
the file operations when programming on the kluge.
Linux, no problem.

I wish I had more Linux customers, but I do not.

I do not know if you are, but I just append .tmp or .bak on to the name 
of my program.   I have never used Kernel32::GetTempTileNameA.
