Just to clear up (add to?) the confusion, on a Macintosh only one copy of
Analog can be running per copy of the application. If you have one copy
of the application the above won't work, but if you had multiple copies
of the entire Analog distribution you could launch them in parallel. That
isn't really a good idea in most cases, you will probably run out of
memory.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
