Beware that it means exactly that: temporarily. Things left there are nsafe: If the available space becomes tight the administrators will remove older and larger files to make room. You will not be able to access these files from other machines.

If you encounter any problems with your use of the EML Windows PCs or Field Research Office computers, send email to econ@lscr.ls.berkeley.edu . This address is read by the Windows system administrators. Do not send messages to the Econometrics Laboratory (i.e., do not send messages to trouble, manager, consult, or postmaster as you would if you encountered problems with one of the Suns). It delays your message, and takes up the time of the Unix administrators.
