I solved the multiple instances of Newport buy buying a Dell OptiPlex GX150 SFF and installed windows 98se on it. So to create each instance I just install Newport to a new folder. The machine only cost me 150.00 and I all ready owned the Win98se to replace the win2000 that came on it. Finding the video drivers for win98 was a challenge but I found them.

I have my inherited cash account and my inherited Roth account set up in separate directories. Right now all I have is sells as my mother was setting on quite a lot of long term gains.

Hi Clive,

So what I do is create a separate directory for each instance like this:

C:/localfiles/Programs(x86)/AIM1/AllenNewport

C:/localfiles/Programs(x86)/AIM2/AllenIRANewport

C:/localfiles/Programs(x86)/AIM3/MartinNewport

C:/localfiles/Programs(x86)/AIM4/EvelynNewport

I have only one installation of DOSBox. Do I need one for each or does Newport find it on its own so only one is needed?

Alas, I can not easily move to PuppyLinux or FreeBSD because I have to do too much that is Windozes dependent, both for my clients and my daughter who is in college. Plus I'm getting to be a bit fossilized and jumping back and forth between different systems is proving prone to my stupid mistakes.

Thanks for your help.

Allen
