injecting a .gen as an egg?

I am running Creatures 3/Docking station, and woke up one morning to find all my feral run creatures dead of disease. As I was on the 18th generation of Norns with some pretty cool mutations, I didn't want to just end the run there an call it over. I recorded the monkiers of the longest lived creatures in the world (according to the crypt) and hunted down their .gen files, hoping to find a way to continue my feral run.
Is there any way to turn the genetics of these creatures back into... well, creatures? I tried using the genetics kit, but the genetics kit likes to 'correct' their mutations, which bothers me. I also tried Devthing, but I'll admit that was way too advanced for me. Even if I did know what I was doing with the mom/dad genetics and mutation chance boxes, it gives me errors when I try to inject the egg.
So in short: Is there any way for me to inject these .gen files into a world as eggs?

I personally like the Egg Maker - however, to use it, you'll need to copy the genomes, rename them each something short (feral1.gen, feral2.gen, etc. and then move them into the Genetics folder that Muco uses. I believe Devthing has a similar functionality - it's for Windows, so I can't use it myself - and I think Clucky's Eggernator may also work.

Thank you, eggernator worked great! I had actually tried to use it before, but couldn't find it anywhere. I had assumed it didn't exist anymore, like so many other great agents.

Cool, I'm glad it worked for you! :D Clucky gave us permission to host his stuff when his website went down, so you might like to browse the COBs section for more of his stuff. :) The COB Detectives thread is also a good thread to read to find obscure agents and to ask about lost agents, though SeeYou7.Net probably has the most comprehensive list. :)
