Before I made the original post in this newsgroup, I did a search
regarding the SAS core service, and somebody posted the following, which
I used in my original post:

The SAS response is: "You need it for the free edition - leave it set as
we set it. The core service should be left running - that's the bottom
line - it uses little memory or cpu."

Not much of a response.

I set it to manual, SAS worked. Call it what you want, I've said what I
think about it. 8-)
