Well, I'm not arguing about anything, myself.  So if someone can 
authoritatively state whether or not Jaws can be classified as a service 
when it's run from the startup group, that will be the end of that.  If no 
one actually knows, then fine.  One of us might write to Jaws tech support 
and simply ask.

Sorry this has been troublesome for you.

Thanks,
Daniel
