That's a confusing answer. You can develop a multi-tier application in any
language, including Delphi, etc. You can write a Delphi app that is a
remote client to this server tier and does not access the API itself. I'd
even hazard a guess that most enterprise Delphi systems are designed this
way these days, either as intraweb apps, or using layers like Corba, etc.,
or as cgi/isapi modules that clients access using a web browser.

For two-tier client/server systems the client needs the client
library. For multi-tier systems, the data access layer needs the client
library and the remote client needs only a mechanism to communicate with
the data access layer.
