Well this application also does not use any forms, but inherently the
TService application creates a data module, which supplies some of the
form functionality, I guess.

I tried in Lazarus by creating a new daemon application and look what
it brings into the project...

But I did not figure out how it works by looking at the code framework
so I guess I have to read up a lot about the way daemons work in
FPC...
In any case there is a sort of form here as well, looks a lot like a
data module.
