Newbie question here.  It looks as though creating an NT service via the ATL
Service Lizard (I mean, Wizard) is pretty simple in that it creates all the
necessary service-related "stuff" for you (you know, the couple hundred
lines of code to create a service that does nothing yet...<g>).

Question:  is an ATL service *like* any other NT service?  I realize that
the ATL framework (right term?) is designed to create COM-based
applications, but can you (for instance) put non-COM database access code,
non-COM winsock code, or any other non-COM C++ (or even C) code into the
ATL/COM NT service?  Any answers appreciated!

Regards,
