[DUG] Show splash screen across two exe files

[Steve Peacocke]

or,

A opens B, then sits and waits until...

FindWindow('MyForm', nil) <> 0

...then closes. FindWindow is in the Wondows unit and tells you
whether a window is open or not. That way A starts up withthe splash
screen and sits there until it knows that B has loaded and is
displaying it's 'MyForm', then A closes, leaving B to it.
