Yes, I have run into those niggly things before too with services. LocalSystem
is very restrictive. You can however have a service run with an account
but not with the context mappings. I should perhaps mention that the app. is
300,000+ lines of console mode fortan. Not converting it to DLL and not setting it up for
multi-threading is definitely a bonus. I can write control program and control
service in Delphi though.
