Article #25459: InterBase Version 5 and TEMP / TMP space

Problem:
How do I determine what TEMP / TMP is being used by InterBase

Solution:
The rules for finding temp space for InterBase 5 are:

The following conditions are evaluated in order.

1. Any TMP_DIRECTORY entries in the file ibconfig 
	(isc_config on UNIX) (V5 only)

   	The format is TMP_DIRECTORY   bytes   "/absolute/path"

2. Directory named in INTERBASE_TMP environment variable (V5 only)

3. Directory named in TMP environment variable

4. Default to C:TEMP (/tmp on UNIX)
