A Midas connection as a windows application

This example contains a small Midas Client for console usage. For complete usage you'll need the simple Midas Server example.
To use this so called thin client you'll need the simple Midas Server example. The MidasConnection.ConnectType property in this example is set to ctSockets, which means that at the side of the Midas Server the SocketServer must be started. This program (scktsrvr.exe) is located in the Delphi\BIN directory. If you want to use DCOM then simple change this property to ctDCOM.

Further more you'll need to have the DBClient.dll file installed further described in Building a Midas server step by step guide.
