your application works as expected before converting to a service, there should
be no problem getting it working as a service. At the most basic level,
your service's main thread can do nothing more than interact with the service
control manager, and your application code should be able to run in its own
thread, quite independent of the service interactions. The only minor
complication will be to have the main service thread communicate service
shutdown to your app code.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
