No kidding. That's a rather narrow construction. The obvious
general principle is: multiple installations. More than one
database. Et cetera. Wanna bet that dBase doesn't also have a
command-line switch to point at its config file? Something like
 -config config_filename
Or an environment variable, or SOMETHING! I'm betting it does,
you gotta bet against.
