The problem I have is that I was wondering what kind of hooks are available
to get my application to do what I need it to do 'in a moment', so my app
can hand off information to another service at a time that is convenient.
None of these applications describe a hook for my Delphi code, but packages
that my application would hook into through an external call ranging from a
socket (Needs to be online) or make a shell call to do work.  To top it
off, most of what was proposed does not have a 'native' Win32 interface but
relies on getting a completely different language to play in my game.

Of what was proposed, they don't fit my requirements.
- The machine I'm working on will need to be always online, connected to
the internet or LAN (Socket connections).  Sometimes, if I'm remote, no
cell signal, no Wifi, I'm skunked on this requirement.
- additional 'stuff' to be installed on the client machine to go forward,
and not something else I want to additionally maintain on my main gaming
rig, my Surface tablet, or my Notebook
- requires at least 3 machines to maintain a quorum, and there may be at
times where its just one online machine and the 'repository'.
- doesn't build into my Win32 application but either needs to make shell
calls, socket connections, or some other funky jazz.
- has reliance on languages other than the two languages I'm dealing with
(Pascal and SQL)
- way overboard and way over complicated for a very simple and small
exchange of data.  I know I'm going to run into data collision, and I'm
prepared to deal with it.
- requires a 3rd party application to sneak-a-peak at my data, which
introduces problems where that 3rd party app does something I don't want or
don't expect.

I don't think I'm reinventing the wheel.  Sure, conceptually what I'm doing
has already been done, but, I've got the desire to save on tire wear and go
down the path that gets me to where I want without having to dodge
roadblocks.
