Aye, after some (intensive) testing it is true! These .tmp files are what Bryce uses to "restore" itself after crashing. Corel's attempt to make up for something...? (cackles!) But this doesn't explain why Twisted Mind has all of those... I never get those in my Object directory, only .tmp's in whichever directory my crashing file is saving in... Comes in handy, if you are using less than 512MB or so of RAM. Forced crashing is silly, but useful at times! Alas, we need a database of all of this data, crashes vs. machine parts, etc. Uing this data, we would do nothing, except nod and act cooler. Or calculate Bryce 5's "I" level, the machine power necessary to where the render time equals zero...
