Can I load Win3.1 into two different directories, each within its
own setup, as though the other directory  containing the other Win
setup doesn't exist? Or will there be some conflict, but with
proper care one can attend to these conflicts by choice of
judicious settings in .ini files etc. Or it just can't be done , or
is toooooo much trouble.

I have a beta of a newer version of a program that I now run under
win3.1. I don't want to load the beta in place of the older stable
version of the program because I need it for regular production
work. But I do want to run the beta as well. So I want to create
another Win3.1 setup in another directory just to run this beta
application and so it does not mess up my regular win3.1 directory
etc.

Thank you very much for the help.
