-''' Touch-up fixes to my previous fix of making the packet-capture facility save
-''' to a file unknown to the user first. The manpage has now been updated to reflect
-''' the ability of the user to use the TMPDIR environment variable to change the
-''' location of this capture file. And now the capture file is deleted when
-''' ethereal exits, if the user has not saved the trace file.
