OriginalGriff: I may not be understanding your advice correctly, and maybe I need to clarify a couple things.

"You can run it, but only on the server with no access at all to the client computer or the data on it." My program needs no access to client or its data.

"If you get the user to upload the .DAT file to the computer...." If the 'user' is the 'client', program needs no information from the website visitor using it.

"You cannot run any applications on the client computer unless you persuade them to download the EXE file and run it...." I only need my program to run on the website. All the website visitor does is choose from options that the program presents.

"If you recode the app to run in Javascript you could run it within the browser which would mean it runs locally to the client, but even then it couldn't access the client file system directly." Again, assuming 'client' refers to the website visitor, no access to client files is needed.

"... you can't use a GUI app on the server at all...." My program's .exe format doesn't solve this?

What do you think of the information here: https://www.thoughtco.com/add-exe-files-to-web-sites-2654719

Thanks so much for your help.
