[GNC] Two Instances as opposed to two separate files

[Fross, Michael]

I  run multiple instances at the same time, but you have to open different
data files. I’d keep them in different directories to be tidy.

I have two different icons each with a different name of the data file as
an argument.

There is a an argument to not auto open the last file(no -file?). I’m not
near my computer.

As a note, I don’t change any settings that are program wide with both
running.
