asked on

run multiple copies of same program

Just as programs such as NETSCAPE will run simultaneously along side of each other
so that you may work on one page and then switch to another, there are some programs
that just wont do that. Windows 95 tends to check whether these programs are already
running, and if so, will not start another copy.
Case in point is the AOL Instant Messenger. I would like to carry on a conversation with
my supervisor at work under my screen name that matches my Email address but at
the same time I would like to talk with other users, without disclosing my work name.

Is there a way to get this program to run side-by-side with itself?
thanks

Even though not the answer I was hoping for, JPK certainly knew the scope of it all. And I didnt have to wait long for the reply. Definitely must recommend JPK as an expert.
Of course, I would have liked to have known where to find the other two programs he was talking about. But all in all, an excellent response

thanks
