i would do a DLL with delphi  and use inside that DLL INDY for sending and receiving strings via TCP


your delphi app  <----> DLL  [INDY + DELPHI]  (your delphi app)   <------>  DLL  [INDY + DELPHI]  (the other app)   <------>  the other app calling the DELPHI DLL functions


by this your delphi app and  the other app may be placed on diffferent computers , ....
