Does that mean you use the mail- and spell-folder of the final version; the only
difference is that the exe-file (fv) is replaced by that one of the beta version
?

But isn't the way you suggested as dangerous as using two different exe-files
and one mail- and spell-folder ? Or do you mean that each version could "spoil"
the mail-base in that way that none of the versions will be able to read the
data ?

Mmmh... that means I have to decide which of the version I would like to use. I
can't use both version in parallel.


Thanks for your help !
