If you can tell your demgene.exe to search for its data on another logical DOS drive, then you can make that another drive to be the "$HOME/generelt" on a per-user basis. Search for the "Re: commandline switch for changing $_hdimage settings?" topic on that list to see how. If this is not possible and you don't like the idea with symlinks too, then I think you are out of luck.
