- I encountered the following problem :
-
- os9 stores the used executables in memory and when someone
- else starts up the same program the program is not
- loaded in memory a second time but the same code is
- used again.
- This ofcourse is very efficient.
- The problems start when you have two versions of
- the same program. If you'd like to run the two versions
- simultaniously os9 won't let you. When you start up the
- 2nd version os9 will use the first which is already in
- memory. os9 doesnot care whether the length is not
- the same,and renaming one of the two versions won't
- help either since os9 recognizes the programs by some
- internal name.
- I guess there must be a possibility to change this
- internal name (which can be seen using DUMP) but
- I don't know how to do it.
-
- Can somebody help me ?
