Subject: more on cheat protection

I was turned onto qizmo for mqwd on sunday morning, its basically a reverse-action ogc. it launches the exe from itself, a wrapper, and checks the exe and the rest of the files, and I can avoid issuing the actual source to it because it's not directly associated to the exe/dll's.

Even if I did release the source to it, it could act like PB where the clients just download a simple html file that would literally cause the exe to recompile it's dll. But since it's a wrapper, and works on behalf of the exe and not as the exe itself, it wouldn't really need to be released except as raw base source only so others could build off of it, yet have no clue what's inside that update, because an update can always crypto the changes as they progress, like EB did with PB.
