If you don't trust them to use real games then you won't really know if the published are real either, or? But for your question of computing ratings out of pgn files: You could solve this pretty easy by a) 'find-and-replace' in a text-editor. I have done this and it won't take long. Of course you will have to do some checking in the end, but you can always tell from your computed rating list if you have missed to replace one name or another. b) convert the pgn to ca2 format and use the multichange function in CA2 and then convert these files back to pgn again.
