test.gz problem

[Alex Shaw]

hi

Experiencing a small problem with a project I've installed on a client's 
system. The network is just basic shared access thru a standard windows 
network. The app was developed with rev 2.6.1 storing info using the 
great altsqlite2 plugin (saving sl3 for the next version :)

Users have a shortcut to the network drive where my application sits, it 
apppears admins can run the app fine but not general users..

 From their system administrator:

I know my code isn't creating this file so i'm wondering if this file 
(test.gz) is related to altsqlite?

What is it for & Is it needed?

If so, can you control where it's created?

I noticed on the mac this file is created (called "c/\test.gz") in the 
same folder as the main exe, can this behaviour be replicated on windows?

I also noticed running my app from a read-only medium (DVD) worked on 
windows but would not work on mac (ie. only mac & windows standalones 
tested not linux).

Any suggestions?
