It is not difficult (for me) - I developed the scripts to analyze files created 
by two different linux boxes (why two boxes is a longer story) (these are linux 
machines connected to gene sequencers) - the users are likely going to be 
fairly naive when it comes to running/using programs - and while the files can 
be transferred to the windows machine and then analyzed/examined, was trying to 
see if the windows machines can be used as simply a front end (no file 
transfers/etc) - but yes, it is indeed a solution that can be implemented - get 
the files over, run the script on windows machines (even as it makes me nervous 
to run scripts on windows systems - with or without anaconda - I am so used to 
being in the Linux environment that dealing with windows makes me nervous :(
