Interesting. Well, if you want to take a crack at it, F-Script Anywhere 
uses libPatch to force itself into a running application. libPatch 
seems to be a very hard to get bit of code.

Note: This may be old and may not work on Jaguar. I haven't looked at 
it closely. Don't even know if the link still works.
