I believe, the best way to get two minivend server running in one
machine is:

- install MV3 into any directory
- install MV4 into another directory
- if you are using the INET-Mode, make sure, the TCPMap of one MV
(MV3 or MV4) has another number instead of 7768.

Regarding the demo style. Copy the old demo style of MV3 into the
directory of MV4. Make sure, you use another directory name (for example
simple3 and simple4). Check all MV tags of the old simple demo. Check
the userdb.asc (another fieldnames "fname and lname instead of name
only" by MV4). The best way is... visiting the old simple demo shop with
MV4 and looking for any problems (for example search, login, checkout
etc.). I've copied my old shop into MV4. It is not hard to changes some
codes. All solutions to solve any trouble/problem with your old shop in
MV4 is in the source codes of the new demo shop of MV4. Don't forget
copy the UserTag from MV3 into MV4.

Good lucks!

Regards,
	Joachim
