ntcrond is a Microsoft Windows NT service that emulates the crond utility developed by AT&T and
Hewlett Packard for UNIX.  It allows Windows NT users to schedule the execution of commands at
specified dates and times -- down to a granularity of one minute.  Unlike other shareware crond
emulators, ntcrond runs completely as a Windows NT service, and utilizes the user-level security
architecture of Windows NT.  Therefore, if a user account does not normally have access to a file,
command or operation, it won't have it using ntcrond either.  Also, ntcrond achieves outstanding
performance gains by using multiple threads for multiple processes, resulting in near instantaneous
execution of many processes that are scheduled to execute at the same time.

The companion application to ntcrond is called ntctab.  ntctab is a Windows NT-based graphical
administration tool used expressly for the purpose of scheduling tasks for ntcrond to run.

Here are some of the features that we've included in Version 2.0:

	1.  ability to remotely manage crontab entries via a "connect to server"
	2.  graphical user administration tool
	3.  enhanced security (i.e., tighter integration with NT's SAM)
	4.  crontab password entries encrypted in registry (RSA)
	5.  global ntctab administration limited to "admin" users (NT accounts)
	6.  use of Windows '95 Common Controls
	7.  full UNICODE support for ntcrond service messages and ntctab administration tool
	8.  ability to "impersonate" a specific account while running a task
	9.  ability to establish network connections via a "net use" within a crontab entry
	10. ability to enable/disable task interaction with screen for each task
	11. complete logging of each task run into the NT Event Log (optional)
