windows service

I need to make a program run as a windows service, but I only have visual c++ 6.0, and I don't think it has a template for this.
How can I create a windows service from scratch?

thanks a lot,

As I see - there is a template...
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...c9(VS.80).aspx
And also a link how to write it from scratch...

Have you tried to use search before posting?

I did search this forum for windows service related threads, but I did not see any that related.
I also look through MSDN, but I was looking for c++ related pages, not .NET, which you have found.
I found http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...wx(vs.80).aspx
but it doesn't have how to do it in c++ without the template. Also, the template you found is for visual c++ 8, not the old version I am using (6)

Are you able to quickly tell me how to do it with c++? because I have no knowledge of .NET.
If you can't, I will try and see if I can make something work.
