Hi Mike, it all depends on how much work you want to do. The simplest solution
to have 2 instances running simultaneously is to have 2 copies of the J
installation with one of them using the Jx j.dll in place of the official j.dll.
On Windows you can possibly use symbolic links to point the Jx installation
back to your addons, system, user, etc. directories so they are shared.
If you want to be extreme you can compile a custom version of JQt that can
switch between the two at startup time, or even at runtime.
I hope that helps.
