[GNC] Maintain two accounts in same machine

[Fross, Michael]

Hello N.Srinivasan,

GNUCash supports an argument where you can simply specify the desired
.gnucash file.  I'm on windows, and I simply set up two GNUCash "icons",
each with a different .gnucash file as it's argument.  The lock files are
distinct and I don't believe there is any risk to having them both open.  I
do store the different files in different directories.

Is that what you are asking?

Michae
