That is technically a bug & you should not rely on it. Rob may choose 
or accidentally happen to fix that if it causes a problem elsewhere. 
Either distributing or having an install script make copies of 
database.e as databseA.e etc is a better (short-term) solution. 
 
It is also a very bad thing regards installing the program to a 
different drive/directory. 
 
A global routine within database.e to swap in/out various internals, 
as it were "behind the back of" the main database.e code would be a 
sensible interim measure, since it is then clearly up to the 
programmer to manage any problems with excessive memory allocation etc 
OK, I admit I have no idea what I just said involves but it sounded 
good when I started...
