<DIV><FONT size=2>I have installed cygwin, gcc, & mercury. I even have
the path set to include the correct directory for mmc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Unfortunately the cygwin shell does not recognize mmc, mdb,
etc. probably because of the file extension -- running 'sh mmc' seems to
start up the compiler, although I have not run any compiles yet.

<DIV><FONT size=2>Is there a shell setting or environment variable
required for the shell to pick up the mercury commands?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>It is really hard to get mercury going under windows. Is there
any work on a port that does not require cygwin? Perhaps if mercury can
compile itself to the ECMA common language runtime (AKA the Microsoft
.net common language runtime) cygwin won't be required?</FONT></DIV>
