st: Re: existence proof

[Kit Baum <baum@bc.edu>]

With the widespread use of web email clients and IMAP servers (which 
store all mail on the server), there is no reason why a user of a 
public access facility would have any space available on a public 
workstation. In our university, the IT folks have implemented a webDAV 
facility that allows members of the community to store files (up to 1 
Gb) on such a server (same concept and technology as Apple's iDisk with 
.mac), but one cannot tell Stata to place that space on the adopath. 
Nevertheless  I agree with the basic premise: as restrictive as access 
rights on a Windows XP box may be, if a user can log on, she can 
presumably write files to some temporary directory.
