Oh! I had not realized that you had uploaded that file! *testing now*
Woo! Works perfectly!

20 years? dang!
Yeah, I figured it wouldn't work, but sometimes I like trying stuff like 
that because it can provide new and interesting error messages :)

I was thinking about a cleanup scheme.

Maybe a running game.exe should update a timestamp file in the playing 
temporary file at some interval (30 minutes?)

Then when a game.exe instance closes, after cleaning up its own files, 
it could safely go and delete any temp files much older than that 
interval

... although now that I type this, I suddenly realize that scheme will 
fail messily in certain situations. Suppose you run 2 instances of 
game.exe at the same time. Then you hibernate your computer for a few 
hours. Then you wake it up and close one game.exe and the other will get 
its temp files killed even though it is still running.

Bleh.
