Compiling for Windows

The launching of multiple instances of MS Office apps is dependent upon the 
version you are using. You must understand the difference between the single 
document interface (SDI) and multiple document interface (MDI). Word2000 is 
an SDI app with no support for MDI, but prior version were MDI. Excel2000 is 
also an SDI, but it supports MDI as well. So, the launching of multiple 
instances of an MS Office product depends upon whether or not it supports 
both SDI and MDI and the configuration. So, MS has indeed introduced 
unnecessary inconsitencies in the behviour of apps contained in the same 
suite.
