My client OS is Win7. The script is written in AutoIt and is, right now at least, a proof of concept that I'd be embarrassed to share publicly as it's pretty bad. The output of the script is between the lines below. I just open a TCP connection to port 1984 and send the lines across. The file is written in *nix format with LF at the end of each line so I don't have to alter it during the send operation.

You can either use the formats of existing supported clients, or read the source to see what formats are supported, or contribute code to support your format.
In the end I may have to do just that though, or more likely just give up if I can't get any help with interacting with the stock server channels. I refuse to spend hours trying to reinvent multiple wheels. :-(
BTW., which clients did you try?
