Thanks for answer.  It is nice to know it works for somebody.  I will check
permissions.  But seeing as how it works on cygwin shell, that seems
unlikely to be a problem.  Also I am running as administrator.  So
permissions are not an issue.

Any other ideas?

C: is a local IDE disk.  It is NTFS.

I have a ton of environment variables set.  I wish I could find a way to get
rid of them, temporarily.  I have appended a list.  Do you see anything here
that would cause a problem?

Thanks,
Bert Douglas
