- That's not the problem - the "Single CPU" means that you can't, say, put one
- copy of the executor binary on a network and have multiple machines use it
- at the same time.
-
- The problem with running multiple instances of Executor/Dos (E/L and E/NS don't
- have this problem), is that exsystem.hfv (and possibly other hfvs) are opened
- with a mode that blocks another instance from opening it. Try this: make
- exsystem.hfv Read-Only. You then should then be able to run multiple sessions,
- _but_, you will not be able to:
-
- 1) Save the browser state
- 2) Install programs that add things to the system folders
- 3) Save Preferences in programs that use the system directory
-
- Additionally,
- 4) You may still have conflicts/corruption if two sessions try to access
- the same hfv (like tmp.hfv, the demos, or your own hfv)
