One way you could do it (any platform) is to create a "lock file" that
prevents multiple copies being run. The idea is simple: on loading, create
a text file in a specific place (e.g. the same directory as the stack). On
closing, delete the file. On startUp, if the file exists, put up an error
message that the program is already running, and exit.
