No, I can't ask people to install python or perl (or Java, which would 
have made things
far easier for me). They are far too heavy for this task and I hope to 
get help from non-geeks
(just "click here to download this exe, then execute it through a cmd 
window, please").
(Why would I need threads for a simple program? Or did you mean "net 
libraries"?)

There is no analysis involved, at least not on the client side. Just 
send/recieve some UDP
packets (the recieve part is just a nicety, to help me correlate results 
from multiple servers,
but I should be able to manage even without it).

Thanks,
