Anyone tried NMAVAILABILITY=1 instead of NMAVAILABILITY=TRUE ?

Problem is that Windows doesn't have a netnmrc script and certainly
doesn't by default, have a netnmrc.pre.  I've tried setting a system
environment variable of NMAVAILABILITY to TRUE and rebooted the system
but
although the env var is set, there are still no data files.

Anyone with any other thoughts?
Cheers,
Jane
