Naming Restriction

During the compilation process, IPF creates some files to hold data temporarily, and erases the files when it no longer needs them. The names of these files are:


where filename is the name of your source file. Do not give your source file a CLF extension. Also, do not give your source file a name of $0000$, $1111$, $2222$, or $3333$.

Do not use the name of any of the OS/2 environment variables for your file name. VIEW checks for an environment variable that matches its first argument and, if it finds one, such as CPREF, it will take the value of that environment variable and use the value as the name of the file or files to open.
