Re: [MacPerl] Running two (or more?) copies of MacPerl

[Rich Morin <rdm@cfcl.com>]

Thanks to all who responded.  Summarizing a bit, it appears that one
can have multiple copies of a MacPerlish application running at the
same time.  The preparation involves:

  *  make a copy of MacPerl (e.g., McP1)
  *  change the icon on the copy, if desired
  *  change the creator to something unique (e.g., McP1)
  *  change the McPL entry in the BNDL resource (e.g.,to McP1)
  *  change the CODE entry in the ???? resource (e.g.,to McP1) ???

This is all Science Fiction, however.  At least, *I* haven't tried it!
Before we proceed further, would anyone like to correct, complete, and/or
clarify the notes above?  Or (HINT), would anyone be willing to try this
out manually and/or cobble together a script that does the edits?

Finally, could someone clarify whether I would be able to start a MacPerl
script running, then use McP1 to load in and run another script?  MacPerl
can load BBEdit files, so this _seems_ like it should be possible...
