I can see that this migfht be a problem if the 'immediate kill' option is switched
on in the registry but with normal settings a close application message is sent
first I believe - you will of course need to have a handler to deal with this case as
well.

Ouch... I really hope w2k is better than 98 for that... I'm dreading w2k being
a step backwards from NTws...

Cool... And here was me thinking it should be removed from the language ;)

Excellent point... I'm so accustomed to using NT now (especially since most
clients are or have moved to NT)...
Has anyone played with betas of w2k to comment on how delphi application
behaviour might be affected 12 months from now...
