TNSNAMES.ORA not in ORACLE_HOME

Hi there,

I wonder if someone knows the answer to the following question:

I'm working in an environment where almost everything is stored on an fileserver. Even the oracle-client software. Since I'm developing a new database, I need different entries in the TNSNAMES.ORA file than the one stored on the fileserver. However, the network management department won't allow me to edit the TNSNAMES.ORA file (rightfully so), but I do want to use the software from the fileserver, since that most closely resembles the situation in which my end-users will work. The only file that needs to be different is the TNSNAMES.ORA-file. Is there a possibility under Windows 3.1 to have this file stored in a different directory than the ORACLE_HOME\NETWORK\ADMIN? Any help will be much appreciated,
