<p><b>Desc:</b>
Creates a file with a unique name which must be explicitly deleted
<p><b>Notes:</b>
Under the FlashTek X-32 DOS extender, the path pointer is in DS:EDX.
MS-DOS 3.0-4.0 and DR DOS 3.4-5.0 generate the filename as a sequence
of hex digits based on the current date and time; MS-DOS 6+,
DR DOS 6, and Novell DOS 7 use letters A-P in place of hex digits.
MS-DOS 5.0 and DR DOS 3.41/5.0 will insert a missing trailing backslash
before appending the generated filename, but due to this, an empty
string results in a file in the root directory
<p><b>BUGS:</b>
COMPAQ DOS 3.31 hangs if the pathname is at XXXXh:0000h; it apparently
wraps around to the end of the segment.
MS-DOS 5.00 revisions A and B and PC-DOS 5.00 revision A reportedly
hang the system if the specified path is the root directory and the
root directory is full (no free directory entries).
Mark Incley <mincley@krisalis.demon.co.uk> reports that this function
hangs in MS-DOS 6.2x if the name includes two consecutive path
separators (e.g. C:\\ )
