  54 You are pretty much on your own here.

  56 When Andy Church originally wrote Services for us, then later GPLed it, he
  57 specifically didn't support it under Windows, nor would he ever.
  58
  59 You are better off using a UNIX-type machine for any kind of Internet
  60 server, be it Linux (under which Services was developed, FreeBSD,
  61 whatever.  All of those are free.
  62
  63 And as we have seen time and time again, Windows has had more holes than
  64 than a block of Swiss cheese.  Part horrendous coding on Microsoft's part,
  65 part open-by-default policies.
  66
  67 Hence the phrase:  &quot;Windows:  /n/ 1.  Easily opened.  2.  Easily broken.&quot;
  68
  69 Services has been, and probably shall always be, a UNIX-only program.
  70
  71 Save yourself the effort and headaches and get Linux or FreeBSD.  Both are
  72 good.  Both are free.
