May 30, 2000 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Active+ Software  -  ServiceMill^® v 3.1.35

Active+ Software is announcing the release of ServiceMill^® v3.1.35, the system utility that instantly turns any DOS, Windows or OS/2 executable, as well as batch files into a Windows NT and Windows 2000 service.

What's new in ServiceMill:
ServiceMill now supports Windows 2000 Kernel Job Objects. When a program is started as a service, the program process will be attached to a job object. Therefore, if the program starts other processes, they will all run in the same job. Stopping the service will cleanly stop all processes in the Job, not only the primary process. Another advantage of running a service program through a Job is that all processes running in it will be restricted to a predefined scheduling priority.

Benefits:
Run your application securely without the need of a user session
Run most executable: 16 bit (Dos, Windows, OS/2), 32 bit and batch files as a Service.
No modifications are required for existing programs to work
Run custom applications developed using: Visual Basic, PowerBuilder, Delphi, Java, etc. Run programs which requires both interactive mode and network access at the same time
Very easy to administrate through Service+
Remote & Local administration supported
Restore network drives when the process starts
Specify window position at startup
