Formless apps.

Any ideas how I produce a Delphi 2 app that DOES'NT use or require a form?
I need to explore the option of such an app in OLE server environments. To
those
who know VB (yuk) how do I simulate Sub Main as the front end entrypoint.

Peter,

very easy! Open the project source, write all your stuff in there, remove
Unit1 from the Pproject and compile.

Oh yes, Peter, by the way, the Gauteng Delphi Users Group has its meeting
on 27 November 1996 at Synectics Software in Sandton. Call Bridget at (011)
789-4316 for details.

Happy coding

any command line parameters you may have used are available within the
program. Delphi is perfectly usable for 'non-gui' programming.
