I don't know that these are incompatible. The following few lines that
define the temp_space logic are from LYMain.c. There is already a
DOS-specific set of environment variables that take precedence over the
TEMP_SPACE variable set in userdefs.h. It should be relatively simple
to add a few lines after the #ifdef DOSPATH section and before the
TEMP_SPACE line to take variables in the desired order. I will leave a
patch to those more familiar with the unix conventions.

if ((cp = getenv("LYNX_TEMP_SPACE")) != NULL)
StrAllocCopy(lynx_temp_space, cp);
else
#ifdef DOSPATH
if ((cp = getenv("TEMP")) != NULL)
StrAllocCopy(lynx_temp_space, cp);
else if ((cp = getenv("TMP")) != NULL)
StrAllocCopy(lynx_temp_space, cp);
else
{
printf("You MUST define a valid TMP or TEMP area!\n");
exit(-1);
}
#else
StrAllocCopy(lynx_temp_space, TEMP_SPACE);
