Samba question (with unlikely solution)

[Edward Glowacki]

I'm sure there's some utilities or registry hacks out there that will do
what you want, people have been trying to play games without the CD's
since the day the first game came out on CD.  This is just another
permutation of that, so chances are you should be able to get ahold of a
number of different programs to do what you want.  Try one of the search
engines, probably the best way to find them.  Happy hunting!  (er, happy
building!) ;)
