There is a way to trick the mac into doing what you want. Make a copy
of the application with a different name! you should be able to start
both applications now under multifinder. This may not work for all
applications, particuylarly those which use temporary files with a specific
name (in this cast the second process will trash the first process's files).
If you use this method, make sure you test it out on a copy of your data
first!
