contrary to what happens under Win & Linux, you cannot start multiple
instances, which is a royal PITA for Stata users (it seems that you have to
keep multiple instances open that when merging datasets). As for gretl, I
never felt I _needed_ to have multiple instances of gfretl's GUI client open
simultaneously, but in some cases being able to is a good thing.
I haven't checked yet, but I think you should be able to run
multiple instances of the bundled gretl app on OS X. I believe
this is controlled by an entry in the bundle's Info.plist
file: you can specify a "single instance" policy if you want
to, but I haven't done that.
BTW, I realize I messed up with my most recent dmg build: the
bundled gnuplot has an external dependency on the AquaTerm
framework when that should have been redirected within the
bundle. I'll put up a fixed build tonight.
