CheckBook Tracker has one as well.  It's implemented the same way as in
Delphi.

Make sure you tell it to NOT auto-create the splash form or you'll get
two copies.

Then do something like this in the .lpr file:

Application.Initialize;
FrmSplash := TFrmSplash.Create(Application);
FrmSplash.Show;
FrmSplash.Refresh; 
Application.Processmessages; // won't paint content otherwise...
// next is the apps MAIN form... When closed, the app closes
// this is determined by it being the first called with CreateForm.
// so you DO NOT want to call the splash that way.
Application.CreateForm(TFrmMain, FrmMain);
Application.CreateForm(TFrmBalance, FrmBalance); // another form
Application.Run;

In the FrmMain.OnShow event, make sure you call FrmSplash.Close
