There are no plans to phase it out.


Can anyone clarify the original purpose behind its existence and whether it
is problem free so long as no forms or controls are activated within the
App?

Its purpose is to create non gui tools from gui
applications.

Can you expand on that ?

Because to me, that sentence sounds like someone scratching his nails over a
blackboard... If an application is well-designed, the back-end has no GUI
dependencies and can be re-used in any environment, GUI or not.

In the use case of the original code:
When using a TDatamodule, there is no GUI, hence there should be no need for
the nogui module ?
