- I noticed exactly the same thing on my system. I compiled elvis
- using Quick-C. Elvis copies the tmp file to the new file, but
- then somehow improperly deletes the tmp files. It seems to do
- this with all tmp files it opens, cut buffers as well as regular
- tmp file. Will take a closer look at source to see if I can figure
- it out (probably over weekend).

- So if you use elvis be sure to run chkdsk /f afterwards.
