This step-by-step instruction for the use of MercupW v1.2 with multiple instances of Mercupw
was kindly provided by Kenneth McColl.

Many thanks!

HANDLING MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF MERCURY WITH MERCUPW 1.2

1) Install MercupW multiple times.

   The simplest option is to copy MercupW.exe and mercupw.ini into
   each folder where you have an installation of Mercury.

2) For each installed instance of mercupw use a different InstanceNumber
   in the mercupw.ini file.

   InstanceNumbers should be real numbers, i.e. 1,2,3... (not 0)

3) Launch each instance of MercupW. You may need to allow for a short time
   delay between each start up.

3) Prepare a suitable batch file to start these instances of MercupW

        @echo off
        echo Starting Mercury using MercupW watchdogs...
        echo.

        echo Starting instance 1
        start c:\mercury1\mercupw.exe

        wait -t10

        echo Starting instance 2
        start c:\mercury2\mercupw.exe

        echo Done!

   These will start each copy of Mercury automatically, renaming the
   title bar to match the InstanceNumber you provided. (You will also
   see an initial warning email being sent.)

   Notes:
   1) If you do not have 'sleep.exe' (available with the resource kit) then you
   could use any suitable utility. This example uses a freeware utility
   'wait.com' with a time delay of 10 seconds. An exact delay is not known.

   2) You need to use 'start' since MercupW does not return control to the
command
   prompt until it exits. Using 'start' ensures the batch file continues and
copies
   of MercupW start in parallel.
