yes, this is true! There is not much documentation though to learn how to
create services for Boost.Asio. I got some help from Christoph and tried
to understand the code in Boost.Asio. I didn't want to create a file
monitor originally but as it's a rather simple service it was a good test
to see if I understood everything. :) As it is a rather simple service it
might be a good reference implementation for others though.
I uploaded the file monitor now to
http://www.highscore.de/boost/file_monitor.zip
The zip archive contains a README file where I wrote down everything I
learned about Boost.Asio services and what might be helpful for others to
know when they start to create their own services.
Hope it helps,
Boris
