As the "drop on Form" mechanism is just a shortcut for the instantiation 
of a class you always can do this manually, as well.

But regarding a "form-less application": if you don't use either of 
Windows, KDE, Gnome, Mac or fpgui widget set, some thread-based 
components will not work, as they depend on messages to trigger main 
thread events.
