Wrong. Define NOFORMS in /your/ application project. >> Correct, that won't work of course.

Yes you have. Those API calls are to create a message pump. Delphi/BCB create such a message pump for you in all GUI applications but don't create one in console mode applications nor in any thread so you have to create your own. There are sample console mode, service, and DLL program delivered with ICS-V5. If you are using ICS-V6, you can still use those sample programs probably just by changing the unit names in the uses clause (prefix with OverByteIcs). Contribute to the SSL Effort.
