That answers my question. And I guess it is simply NO. I was not clear about WHY I want to install two versions. It is simply to see if one of the newer versions will work on my computer. I installed a couple of them but they had so many uncomfortable bugs in them that I had to uninstall and go back to the reliable old 1.49. And that is a time-consuming process. I thought how good it would be if I could just install a newer version, see if it works and then proceed from there. RS>> If this question is just too silly, > Not silly at all.

Hello! As an answer for Your letter, I would like to write: [cut] > Is there any way I can install two versions of TB on my computer?? > Without causing a lot of conflicts?? Yes and no. You may install two versions in different directories, but they will use the same directory to store files (mails, account configs, etc). However You can export one branch from Your registry after installing first version (You can do it now, because You already have Bat! installed) than install second one in different directory, selecting different directory to store mail. Than You export the same branch, but it's going to be different in data. Now, to make Your life easier (but is it easier with two Bat!s? ;) Create some .bat files, so starting one You instert Your [first].reg to registry and run Bat, and another one to instert second registry info and start different Bat version. O my! It's even more complicated than I thought. And I don't know is it clear enough to understand :))) Best Regards IronHand -- ,--[ IronHand of CruX ]--- GCS d- s:- a19 C+++ UL P+++ -. |MAIL:[EMAIL PROTECTED] L+++@ E- W+++ N+ o?

Hello TBUDL, I am sorry if this message is a little basic for the group but I am hoping someone can give me some advice: As you can see from below, I am still using v1.49 because it is the only version that seems to run without a lot of problems on my computer. The only thing I can't do is print directly because I have an Epson and there is a bug that has never been patched. But I digress. I would like to install the newest version to see if it will work but I don't want to uninstall or overwrite this one. (I have lived through that too many times now!!!? Is there any way I can install two versions of TB on my computer?? Without causing a lot of conflicts?? If this question is just too silly, tell me and I will not worry about it. I am happy with my old version of the Bat!!1 Best regards always, Richard (running The Bat! v 1.49 on W98) http://www.wine-from-spain.com http://www.lagamella.commailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
