It does not involve changing any file in any way; but it does inject a piece
of code into the running EQ2 process.

The process is simple; all games uses system DLLs (like user32.dll and so on),
by providing a fake one and put it into the same directory as
EQ2 - it makes it possible to load the external DLL into the same process-space.

The big question in this is the disclaimer where it says that no software
that changes the Software (that is the game) may be used to change
Game play. If this includes how the UI works, then there is not much I
can do about it, and I'll probably have to cancel this whole deal.

The most important thing is that it does NOT change any files, and that
should make it perfectly legal to make... but the disclamer may stop the
player from using it at all.

Any more thoughts on this?
