First of all, on my Solaris box, I used the C# top_level.exe to once 
again compile top_level.exe and it worked! Very satisfying.

Now to Windows.  I did change the PATH to put the Mercury bin directory 
in front of the Windows system directory.  At the command prompt, when I 
type "mmc" it invokes the compiler, but internally top_level.exe is 
still invoking the Microsoft Management Console. I don't know if this is 
some Windows Vista magic that can't be overridden.

Can I just permanently set the MERCURY_COMPILER and MERCURY_CONFIG_DIR 
environment variables so that it doesn't need the mmc script?

Thanks,
