Installing anything is WAY TOO complicated for these users. They get lost trying to save the attchment I e-mail them, on their desktop! So installing Perl or Cygwin is out. What I have now works, but I might try to rewrite it in C and just give them an EXE, more for teh learning exeerience than anything else. That will take me awhile though. A friend of mine was telling me about a perl compiler that writes windows .exe and that might be fun to try too.
