<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>thank you so much for your answers. I
removed the system line from an_init.tcp and made my service log in as fox and
it worked. Thanks to the time difference between US and Germany I am now
able to finish my program in time (this week). This mailing list is great
stuff, folks.</FONT></DIV>

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> <BR></FONT><FONT face=arial
