Indeed - this is exactly my reasoning for writing it as a service.
Nice to know it works on XP as well as Win2k.

Basically - anything!

As far as I am aware, it's virtually impossible to write a service in VB6,
so it'd have to be another .NET app.

I'll add it to my "to do" list, but at the moment I'm busy
working on my
RedRat3 XPL service :-)

If I get chance, I'll download the existing CM12 app today and start having
a look at the code.

I have an (almost) complete .NET assembly containing common XPL routines,
so once that's complete it should make it very quick and easy to write an
XPL
app
in .NET (or even to add XPL support to an existing one).
