 No disrespect but, uh, come up with two different sets of library names for 
 user files, user objects, BMR objects, base objects, C/S objects (if 
 necessary) and follow the installation instructions...

Dean - I think our friend was talking about the CLIENT, not the server.  I've 
had pretty good luck loading two versions in the past, but was not really in 
a production environment (I am a consultant) so you would want to be pretty 
careful not to compromise the integrity of your production system.  V6.1 
(eBPCS) will default install to program files while v6.0.02 will install to c 
so you won't have any executable conflicts between the versions.  The only 
possible issue would be the ini files loaded in the windows directory.  I 
would try running both versions of BPCS with the version of inis that gets 
loaded with v6.1, but if you have trouble with the v6.0.02 apps after this 
you will need to keep both sets in a separate directory and copy them in and 
out of the windows directory as you need them.  You could probably write a 
simple batch file that would be associated with bpcssm.exe for each version 
to copy the applicable set of inis into the windows directory as BPCS 
launches.  Obviously, you cannot run both versions of BPCS at the same time.

Hope this helps -
