iTOOLS OPC SERVICE

The sole purpose of this service is to allow the iTools OPC Server to
run at system startup, or at any time when no user is logged in.
In effect, the iTools OPC Server will itself be running as a service.

Some manual configuration steps are required to ensure that the iTools
OPC Server can run with no user logged in.  This is the recommended
approach: -

1.  Create a new user on the system, giving it an appropriate name,
    e.g. "itools" or "opc".  This user should be made a member of the
    Administrators group.  You may wish to setup the computer's
    Security Policy so that this user is unable to login to the
    computer either locally or remotely.

2.  Use the DCOM Configuration utility (DCOMCNFG) to specify that the
    iTools OPC Server should run under this new user's account, rather
    than as the "interactive user" or the "launching user".

3.  Use the Services admininstrative tool in Windows to enable the
    iTools OPC Service, and run it as appropriate.

The iTools OPC Service will run only on Windows NT, Windows 2000,
Windows XP or Windows Server 2003.
