You could create multiple shortcuts with a command line to point
to different data files, but you might have to register each data
file. I haven't tried it (insufficient motivation), but I'm
pretty sure I could get it to work.


===================================

I believe it's as simple as creating multiple unique file directories,
and doing a separate install into each. From there you can drag
shortcut icons to the desktop and give each shortcut a different name.






On the other hand, I've not found anything in Agent useful to me that
isn't available in the latest versions of Mozilla. The operatative
phrase here is "useful to me."
Agent seems about two generations behind, vis-a-vis the Windows 2000+
and the iterations since W2K. Even the latest Agent
seems...old-fashioned.

Oh...and Mozilla directly supports multiple mail accounts and multiple
news accounts....




Harry's real problem is ...that every so often I post something so utterly stupid that he spits

his ooffee out on his keyboard. I wasn't this stupid before I started
mainlining heroin though.



Hey, Smith...broke out of detention again, eh?

You know, Gene, I keep trying Agent, and I find it a colossal pain the
ass to learn and use, and it STILL doesn't allow easy setup of multiple
news and mail accounts.


So, who really cares if you can not understand a very easy to use software.


What experience do you have using it? None? Thought so. I KNOW for a
fact, that you aren't using it to post HERE......


Omniscience is great!

Is it as great as you wanting pictures of little girls in the
"biblical sense", John? Does the school where you substitute teach
know about this yet?

would have the most sought after features......

Agent 2.1 was anticipated in Q2, but has now been postponed until Q3.
The wait is irritating, but Forte, though (as my Grandmother would
say) slow as molasses running up hill in wintertime, when the software
is release it *is* reliable.... and bug fixes and upgrades (within
version) are free.....

Hang in there......

Agent is one of the easiest of programs to use and set up...for most people.

It's all relative, John. I think STAAD is quite easy to set up and
use. Do you? Still looking for pictures of little girls "in the
biblical sense"?
