In theory for different setups you just need different smsqe.bin files. For example a smsqe-xyz.bin and then starting QPC using the "-os smsqe-xyz.bin" option. To avoid using the command line one could create a shortcut that contains the options. But different directories is probably more straight forward to use for most people. If different boot configurations is the only thing you need: determining on which PC you run can be done using the QPC_NETNAME$ function. Just using different configurations can be done using the QPC_CMDLINE$ function and the corresponding command line parameter "-cmdline xyz" (again can be done using a shortcut to the QPC2.EXE). > But can you share files between multiple QCPs?
