No no no. Do not mess up the system to accommodate 20 year old programs! Look at Windows, even XP is still compatible with Windows 1.0 applications and THAT is the main source of problems they have with that platform. Kludge over kludge! Ok, short recap: you want to rename all SER and PAR devices to be able to rename the PFF device to be a SER or PAR device. And because of what? To make some ancient programs happy that probably nobody uses anymore anyway! Work on the root of the problem! If you can't simply send those old bastards to bit heaven then change them! Usually it's a 1 minute job, take a hex editor, search for "SER", overwrite with "PFF" and that's it.
