Re: [WIN] run only one instance of selected program

I stuck it in right after the include of win32lib.ew
like this and it works for me..

include win32lib.ew

 if setAppName("Win32Lib IDE") != 0 then
     abort(0)
 end if

include xpm_icon.e
include ide_xpm.ew
include ruler.ew    --Travis Beaty
include shrtPath.ew --Wolf Fritz


With this you wont be able to start another instance
of the IDE as long as both copies your trying to
run have this code in it.

e.g:
If you have an already compiled IDE.exe that doesnt
have this code then sure, it will run.
