Is mapping multiple buttons to a gamepad chearing?

This is the latest thing I could find about third party program uses. This was posted about tristantio's(?) map app.

From a third party program standpoint, this is legitimate. Doesn't manipulate the client, just reads from log file. Not comparable to SEQ or MQ2 as it doesn't share those programs advantages. As I've stated previously, in most cases, so long as a program doesn't manipulate the client itself and is only reading from a log file, it can be used on this server.

From a classic standpoint, also legitimate. The technology to do this was clearly present at the time of Everquest's release.

Investigations GM gives it the thumbs up. Unless management chimes in and says otherwise, this is fine.*

So if you're going to use any third party software consider the points mentioned above: does it manipulate the client, and was it possible during the classic timeline.
