Subject:	RE: [ntdev] How to write ServiceMain & Handler
main() in a service must call StartServiceCtrlDispatcher(), not 
RegisterServiceCtrlHandler().
Passed to StartServiceCtrlDispatcher() is array of structures which are 
describing all services in your process - there can be several like in 
INETINFO.EXE or SERVICES.EXE
Each structure will hold a pointer to ServiceStart function which, in
turn, has to call RegisterServiceCtrlHandler().
