Superfluous
I think that stripping c:/ / etc from the file names is a problem with the
Windows port of XEmacs. However, I might be able to help with the temp file
name problem.
Please take a look at (defcustom ediff-temp-file-prefix in ediff-init.el
and tell me where does the broken temp file name come from.
It must be coming from one of the getenv's.
Under XEmacs you should use (temp-directory) to get a temp directory that
is Kosha under all OS's.
