</font><font face="arial" size=2>I'm writing a Windows NT Service on an
AW70 which is supposed to use the FoxAPI to read Shared Variables.
So I've added a line for the "system" user to my
/opt/fox/ais/bin/an_init.tcp file like the FoxAPI User's Guide recommends
in Chapter 4 (Creating an Application, Running Applications from a
Non-Root User):</font><font size=3><br>

</font><font face="arial" size=2>But alas, the following piece of code
