If you simply duplicate an entire folder, it'll work for a short time, but after an indeterminate time, each instance will be doing exactly the same work. You either need to do each instance as a fresh install or ONLY copy three files to a new folder:

client.exe
client.cfg
key.pub

Copy JUST THESE files and only those, otherwise you'll be duplicating work at some point.

And, apparently, rerunning the install program for more than one instance doesn't work either.

I've now got one instance running with the GUI, on Windows, and the other instance has a DOS box. We'll see how this goes.
