I think what Stefano means is the following;

  I write a test for the HDF5 Viewer. It creates a file called
"vector.dat". I want it removed at the end of the test.

I think the answer is, the test directory is blown away, so as long as the
file is in that temp dir, you are fine.

  Thanks,

     Matt
