//This code was pretty much taken from the example in the documentation for
//Services.  It's pretty basic; it only does ascii transfers.
//To cut down on code, I just used the User Data: field in the services.txt
//file to be different numbers, then I just atoi that here to figure out
//which service is requested.  I probably should've #defined some things
//or at least made an enumerated type to make it more readable, but oh well.
//It's not so big as this should be a problem.
