I didn't say it could not be done with that component. 
But IMHO you should have gone the extra mile and implement it in TCustomApplication.

Ondrej's class has the advantage that it introduces no extra dependencies. 
It builds on classes and sysutils.

They can use advancedipc directly if they want. I rarely make those any more for production,
- Because the command-line handling of TCustomApplication is convenient.
- Most often you need a class anyway for event handling or to use as owner. 
We must assume something. 
The minimum shared code is in TCustomApplication, it is the most logical place.
