how do I close app before windows closes?

I'm trying to have an application update a binary file before windows
closes if the user closes windows prior to closing the application.  Any
suggestions?

handle the OnCloseQuery event of your main form.

    When Windows95 prepairs to restart the computer or shut down, it tells
all programs to close, your onclose event in the main form should be
executed correctly at this time.. so any code that you need to have run when
the app closes.. put it in there. If you have your program do somthing like
make a dialog or.. extend the running of your program somehow.. a user
dialog will show asking the user if they want to terminate your app. So..
just remember.. no new forms.. and no dialogs.
