The Windows NT version of SOLID Server is by default an icon exe version. Using the option -sstart, SOLID Server can be started as a service executable and started and stopped from the service manager. If SOLID Server is started without the-sstart option, it starts as an icon exe like the w16 and w95 versions. The service version of SOLID Server cannot interact with the display and cannot create a new database. The service version writes warning and error messages also to the NT event log. SOLID Server can also install and remove services using this command line option.
