- While I and others thank you for the solution, it seems a long step from not finding a
- file to setting an environment variable. When I ran into this problem, I did a search on
- BMTAG.TAG. Nothing found. Copied file into current directory. tried again. Different file
- missing. Too many other things to do - run without help. What clues led you from the missing
- file to the environment variable?
