Conversion utility AND dual version of E-Prime

[Patterson, James]

Yes, it could have been the IFIS components that were throwing things off,
but that is not what caused the error messages, at least not directly.
Anyway, I have the programs I need rewritten in v1.0, but now can't use them
on the IFIS machines because the IFIS package is still not upgraded, and no
one can give me an ETA on that. I have reverted to older versions for the
IFIS hardware, and want to know if I can do the following:

Can I switch from one version of Eprime (beta5) to another (v1.0) by having
them installed to different directories under C:\Program Files\PST and
renaming the active directory to C:\Program Files\PST\E-Prime?

Thanks,

James
