It's 3 o'clock in the morning, it's raining steady, and otherwise silent.
I love that.

I'll assume this is true for the moment.

Which will be important because I don't have a way to test this at all.
Can NT 4.0 serve signed SMBs? Is there a registry setting for that? I'll
setup a better example program for you.

A program should be written to  model the concepts of the task it
performs rather than the physical world or a process because this
maximizes the  potential for it  to be applied  to tasks that are
conceptually similar and, more  important, to tasks that have not
yet been conceived.
