Patrick, Yes, your assessment is correct here. > There is "Often it will be very useful for OpenSLP users to be able to > statically register legacy services (applications that were not compiled > to use the SLP library).

This means that applications are either designed and built to use the SLP client library to advertise themselves, or not. If they are not, but you still wish to advertise those services via SLP, then you may manually insert the information such an application might advertise (were it designed to do so) into the slp.reg file. Then, when the SA/DA comes up, it will register and propagate that information, as if it had been advertised by the application, itself.
