Form less Client Server Apps ???

Hi,

Does anyone know or have an example of a very simple Client/Server App
completely formless ???

I want to code a client server app round 50KB, but with forms and VCL I
always get round 200/300KB... ;-(

Than-x befor hand, Jonathan

look up the XCL and similar libraries that replace the VCL.. a bit of a
pain, but you get small executables.

Otherwise.. sure you can do it.. you just have to create any database things
manually. problem is... you'll end up back where you started, the db stuff
is also pretty big... unless you write your own objects to handle the
database conncetions. OR, you pull parts from the FreePascal libraries.

Indy does not link in the forms unit, so wtih Indy its easy. The easiest way
is to make a new app, remove the main form, remove forms from the dpr, then
create a new DM. Now put your Indy comps on the DM.
