directory, and there must be sufficient room to
hold the cache plus other Geosoft temporary
files. The image cache should not be more than
50% of the available room in GEOTEMP.
Temporary file directory
This directory is used by Oasis montaj to store
temporary files. Depending on the application,
the requirements for storage in this directory can
be VERY large (from 10 megabytes to
gigabytes). We recommend setting this
parameter to a very FAST drive. This will
improve performance of all large data operations
(magmap, gridding, etc).
Oasis montaj cannot start if this drive is invalid
or if it is set to a drive in which it cannot create
files (CD ROM). Please ensure that the directory
is always valid.
Note that in previous versions of Oasis montaj
the GEOTEMP environment variable
determined where this directory was stored. This
variable is no longer used and the setting is
controlled through the Windows registry.
