If you append new_vars.bat to your AUTOEXEC.BAT and your TMP
environment variable is already set for specifying the drive,
directory compiler, and linker to which temporary files should be
written, %TMP% causes the following error message:
Fatal-Error C1042: cannot open intermediate file -- no
such file or directory.
This message occurs because the TMP variable should specify only one
directory.
%TMP% appends any TMP directories already defined at that location.
Generally, it is best not to have any %<environmental variable>%
symbols in AUTOEXEC.BAT because it should be the first place the
environment is defined.
