EnumServicesStatus: Enumerate Local or Remote Machine Services and Status
     
 Prerequisites
One of the operating systems listed under OS Restrictions above.

This demo builds upon the EnumServicesStatus basic demo, adding functions returning both the type of service, and the type of control that the service allows (handles). It also provides for displaying only the active (running) or inactive services alone, as well as listing all services on the local machine. EnumServicesStatus requires Windows NT 3.1 or later.

 BAS Module Code
Place the following code into the general declarations area of a bas module:
