[GNC] two copies on the same computer.

[David Cousens]

The main problem, at least on Linux, is that the user configuration files are
shared between two intsances which means saved reports, customization etc
are shared.  If each data file requires separate customized reports etc., it
may get a little confusing. I have never had any interactions between two
instances runningon separate data files in terms of data file interaction. I
often have had  a production stable version running and also may be running
an instance of one of the development branches open at a different test data
file with no difficulties. Having two instances open on the one data file is
likely to be problematical but the file locking should stop you doing that
unless you override it.

if you require complete separation, use a different user login for each open
data file which will then maintain separation of the user configuartion
files.
