Scratch Files

  Some MIRIAD tasks create scratch files to hold temporary results. These files do not show up in directory listings, but they do take up real space (these files are guaranteed to be deleted if a task dies). MIRIAD will place these scratch files in the directory pointed to by the environment variable TMPDIR. If this is not set, the current default directory is used.
