[darcs-users] Windows Problems, "The system cannot find the file specified"

[Martin R. Fisher]

Okie Dokie,

I have plink etc set up, "plink host user ls repo"
works great. 

DARCS_SSH etc are set up, using the Environment
window.  Type "SET" and I see all three of them.

Still says "The system cannot find the file
specified".  Any ideas *which* file it is missing, so
I can track that down?

Thanks
Martin
