Does running P99 through wine eliminate the spyware DLL that is included with the P99 patches?

Yes if you use Wine dsetup.dll will not be able to see your linux browser tab and process names (I think?).

You can also use a VM to achieve the same functionality on Windows. I wrote a guide https://github.com/pigfrown/everquest-p1999-vm-guide

I'd be surprised if the code knew how to handle WINE, tbh. I could run some experiments with process list tools to see what a normal application can see.

Honestly I doubt it's all that much. Blizzard used to ban WINE users because they didn't understand the results their Warden was reporting back to them.
