As cheap as used computers are now, isn't it easier and perhaps better to
just have a second machine available with the second copy installed?

I have a small lan here at the apt and have 3 copies installed on the 3
fastest comps (though one only manages 2-3 fps and is only good for muling
or rushing chars).

I only spent $20 for one of the comps, the extra copy of D2X was twice that.
Though to be honest the extra switch to extend the lan and cables was an
extra $20 or so.

Get a large desk (mine is a door board on two bookshelves) and make one
of the machines a notebook - then you can place three computers on a one
by two meter area.

Ah, Information. A property, too valuable these days, to give it away,
just so, at no cost.

So is an OS that won't Play Nice a controlling issue (Win98SE: got
multiple installations of D2 on one Win98SE box?)

KVM switch, works great here.

Sorry, I didn't mean to mumble that enthusiastically.

You're running XP, and have multiple installations of D2 on the same
box; is this doable with Win98SE?

(if not, then Win98SE is not a Play Nice OS; and limited house space
drives the use of XP where it *can* be done, in lieu of multiple Win98SE
boxes).

<mumble>

Back to Normal, if ever I could be called that. *sigh*.
