[amibroker] Re: Best way to run two versions of Amibroker on the same machine?

Sounds like a fine idea. Howver, two issues need to be cleared:
1. What's the impact of Registry entries being overwritten? Not like 
the file folders, you can only have one copy of them.
2. Can both versions share the same data folders? The new betas have 
a different watchlist implementation, not sure if the new data folder 
structure is still compatible with older version.

Thanks,
