Steve probably had trouble finding the page because a lot of search 
engines have the old URL without the "~" char.


To add a bit more info to this, the SETI@Home service (at the above 
page) comes with some semi-thick Win32 bindings. One of these bindings 
allows Ada programs to run as and register themselves as NT services. If 
anyone doesn't like the GPL I put on this code, contact me. I'd be 
perfectly willing to license anyone to use the bindings as GMGPL or 
anything else appropriate. The full GPL was intended cheifly for the 
SETI stuff.
