NT 4.0 and 2000 (and XP, I presume) Resource Kits have a program called
srvany, which will allow any program to run as a service. Some of the tools
in these kits are a free download
[http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/default.asp],
but this doesn't appear to be one of them, unfortunately, and I'm pretty
sure the Resource Kit is an additional purchase ... but it may be something
you've already got laying around.
