Setting C# Environment Variables to use ARM Version 4

The C# specification is currently under review by the OpenGroup and until accepted it should be considered properietary to IBM's implementation.The C# implementation was essentially a port of the Open Groups Java API to C#.

Add the following environment variables before starting your .NET program. These properties define the classes that implement the .NET ARM Version 4 interface defined in the ARM Version 4 standards documentation. 

set arm40.ArmTransactionFactory=IBM.arm40.transaction.Arm40TransactionFactory 
set arm40.ArmTranReportFactory=IBM.arm40.metric.Arm40MetricFactory 
set arm40.ArmMetricFactory=IBM.arm40.tranreport.Arm40TranReportFactory
