While I think that your text file with game data is great. Are you suggesting that he would be able to remotely open a file and read it into his app fast enough for it to change data on the laptop screen while games are selected?

It takes a vb app ~ 1.5 milliseconds to open a text file and read it. And that's accouting for lag, and a complicated parsing process. So yes, you could easily read a text file that fast.
I think you are missing the big picture..... adding "broadcasting" via captions will work for eightbit's problem, but I'm guessing if minwah would be willing to do this he'd want to make a more universal solution don't you think?
Imo you should never code for one individual app unless you want to give youself more work int he future. The best way is to make the structure as modular as possible, especially when it comes to external linking. With that being said, I'll go ahead and add a broadcasting option to dk, just in case someone want's to use it or finds a closed source app that needs the info that way. It never hurts to have an extra option or 2. ;)
