I am still running El Capitan, but one of my users is reporting issues
with writing files. I figured it was just a permissions error, but
digging around on the web I found:

https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2016/09/21/macos-sierras-volumes-
folder-is-no-longer-world-writable/

In Sierra the permissions on the /Volumes folder have changed, it is
no longer world writable. It sounds like it could be an issue with
temporary files. Does anyone know if Free Pascal writes temporary
files into \Volumes?

Thanks!

Cheers,
VTwin

No, FPC does not do that.

Thank you Jonas,

That alleviates my concern. I guess I am overly paranoid. With every
new OS X release (I can barely keep up the names), I am concerned
something will break.
