- I can't think of any problems if you changed the logical names
- in this fashion, other than that you'd need to manually maintain the
- START_MULTINET.COM file and the MultiNet installation and CONFIGURE.COM
- tools wouldn't understand the directory structure. Once installed and
- running I know of no reasons it wouldn't work; let me know if it does.
