+Synchronet NT Services
+======================
+
+$Id$
+
+If you're running Synchronet on a Microsoft Windows NT based operating system
+(e.g. Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003), you can now run
+Synchronet as a set of NT services using the exectuable sbbsNTsvcs.exe.
+
+This single executable includes 4 NT services that handle all the functionality
+of Synchronet v3.11-Win32:
+
+Name                 Description
+----                 -----------
+SynchronetBBS        Synchronet Telnet/RLogin Server
+SynchronetFTP        Synchronet FTP Server
+SynchronetMail       Synchronet SMTP/POP3 Mail Server
+SynchronetServices   Synchronet Services
+
+You may install, disable, or remove each NT service independantly, or all at
+once. To install on the Synchronet NT services at once, run:
+
+	sbbsNTsvcs install
+
+The configuration of the Synchronet servers and services is handled in your
+Synchronet initialization file (e.g. ctrl/sbbs.ini). See sbbscon.txt for
+more details about this file.
+
+Once installed, the Synchronet NT services may be started from the NT Services
+dialog (under the Control Panel), by running the Synchronet Control Panel, or 
+if the system is rebooted, the services will start automatically.
+
+To remove the Synchronet NT services, run:
+
+	sbbsNTsvcs remove
+
+Synchronet Control Panel
+------------------------
+You should shutdown the Synchronet Control Panel (GUI) before installing the
+Synchronet NT services. The Synchronet Control Panel can be used to start,
+stop, and monitor the NT services once installed, but it is not required for
+operation. If the Synchronet Control Panel is not running, the BBS servers 
+will still function, even if no user is logged onto Windows.
+
+NT Event Log
+------------
+Error messages (determined by the LogMask in your sbbs.ini file) will be
+logged as NT application event log messages (viewable in your NT Event Viewer).
+
+Beta
+----
+This feature (NT services) is brand new to Synchronet and it may not be as
+reliable as running sbbs.exe or sbbsctrl.exe. Please report any problems
+as soon as possible (see http://synchro.net/docs/support.html for contact
+points of support), or e-mail rob@synchro.net.
