I had added the code for specifying an alternate location for the 
lock file in the 0.0.6 code last week, so that should make things a 
bit easier.   As long as you use a different netsaint.cfg file (with 
unique values for status file, external command file, log file, and 
temp file locations) things should be okay.

The only thing that might be a problem is the fact that the IPC 
message queue will complain if you are running more than 8 (I 
believe) copies of NetSaint.  The IPC initialization code is 
supposed to try several key combinations for creating a new queue 
before it bombs out with an error.
