Why does "that means the .d00 must be located" mean? Are you suggesting we could write MTB code using the names in the .d00 files? Interesting... Now what hoppens when I change the file layout? Do I recompile or do it know magically like the Reporter does? An interesting notion... Now, is that worth the pain of maintaining multiple .d00s? I vote no.
We all know how to deal with "slightly" different file formats. Slightly different is no different than very different. One byte is all it takes. We put #FILES with the objects that work on the different data directory. If the file is different, the Basic objects are different -- even when they all all called IM. Been there, done that!
