What I tried to do:

Print a large frame maker file to the printer. By large I mean the postscipt
file is about 25meg.

What happened:

The program builds a temporary file on my root directory that is the postscript
file. Once the file is large enough to hit my quota it bombs out and prints
nothing. 

What should happen:

Frame should build that temporary file on the local harddisk (200+meg) and print
my file.

Other information:

I've spent an enourmous amount of time with OLC tring to figure out a way around
it (you can ask them for the transcipts of that conversation): (1) tried
printing to a postscipt file in /tmp, tried changing HOME to /tmp, tried coping
the frame file to /tmp, tried loading frame from /tmp, tried ....

BASICALLY ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS MAKE FRAME WRITE THE TEMPORARY FILE TO /tmp.
