Now there is an interesting idea! I wish I had thought of it... It would 
either work, or not. But seriously, I guess it might complain when it went to 
unlink the old file, but it might have gone ahead and completed the operation.
A copy/append might also have worked. 

Boy, I can't wait till it happens again, I have so many things to try this
time! I'll try to install Marble Madness on my hard disk again. It worked last
time...
