How about using TApplication.OnException to trap any unhandled exceptions
and release the Atom. Rather than having the Atom Form dependant add your
own exit procedure to trap application exit and if the atom exists remove it.
So normal termination the exit procedure will release the Atom and abnormal
temination the OnException trap will release the Atom.
