Ok I'm a bit fearfull now that I didn't make myself any clearer with the
last mail so......

To begin with I made a typo in the last mail. The error message I get is
about "MyService" not "JurService" intially the (sub)class was called
"JurService" but I changed it to MyService in the mail to avoid confusion.
(ahhem)

I read all the documentation and in principle it's clear to me what's
involved in creating a service (the logic of it). I'm confident that I will
be able to figure it out as I go, but........
The documentation deals with SDK and MSVisual Studio C#. Their IDE has an
option for starting a "Service Application" project. That creates  the
source files and subseq. architecture for you I guess.
That's where I get stuck I need to know what sourcefiles to create and what
to put where, since Borland doesn't provide this specific apllication
template.

Well I hope that I've described my problem a lot clearer now. I still hope
the info contained in the previous mail is enlighting in some way.
regards,
J.A. Smit
