Hi!

Check the 'NAME <appname>' field of each program's linker definition file.
You should use an <appname> that corresponds the executable file name of
the resulting program.  Also, you cannot use the same <filename>.EXE for
both programs, even if they stayed put in different directories.

Why?  The Windows uses both the executable file name and the 'NAME'-field
of the linker definition, to decide from where (if at all) to reload a new
application (or a segment in an already loaded application).  Thus, at any
moment in a Windows system there should be loaded only such modules, which
have both <filename> and <appname> unique.
