Yeah - a very pragmatic one (aside from not playing omega...).
Edit the file olev.c and at the function "gameidcheck()" starting
at line 282, insert the statment "return(TRUE);" as the first
executable statement.  This should be line #288.

Caveats:  Of course, this means that you can copy the files without
worrying about having used the save game before (which is in bad
form).
