Hmm. What if you put them in separate partitions (say: dark1, dark2, dark3),
and then used FakeCD to point to "darkcd", and then, on the fly, renamed the

Not sure that would work in DOS - it would probably keep the file pointer
the same as before..

Could you save your mission, do the renaming and then resume?
