So... could one set up a batch file which "merged" the right registry
line in before running POV?

I've not tried this with WindowsNT but certainly you can export just a
single line from the registry editor in Win95, and it should be simple
enough to set-up a a couple of batch files - one which re-instates the
old .dll (at some new location, presumably) and then load POV and a
second which changes the registry back to pointing to the new DLL in
it's default location before loading POV.

a couple of shortcuts on the desktop (one for the registry patch and
POV, one for the other registry patch and SuperPatch POV).

I'm about to look at Superpatch (and have been for some weeks) so it'd
be quite nice if POv3.1e and SuperPatch could co-exist :)
