| You can install a service on Win 98 and ME as well.  In fact it's easier
| under 98 & ME.  If you do it this way, download default.zip from
| www.wakeassoc.com/setidriver/default.zip and expand it.  It contains a
| global change to windows to allow command line programs to exit when windows
| shuts down.
