Yeah, I am sure that we want to avoid anything that contains actual files, including .zip files.

The way I see it, this batch file wouldn't be much different than having people edit their eqhost.txt file as described in the setup guide. Heck, I could even have it include the eqhost.txt file change in the same .bat file.

IMO, anything that can be easily created with a simple batch file should have no legal issues with it unless it is doing something malicious (which this is absolutely not). We wouldn't technically be distributing the files, we would be distributing a means for the players to create the files themselves easily.

I am going to go ahead and make a batch file to do this and test it to see if it works. I will also add in the eqhost.txt file change as a bonus if I can get it working properly. If it all works, I will post it here. If it is decided that we should not provide such information, one of the admins or other mods can delete or edit the post to remove it.
