9.1 Introduction |

!Enigma can be used to simulate any Enigma machine known by the software. If you want to run multiple simulations side by side, all you have to do is start another copy of !Enigma. The program can be started as many times as required, provided that you have enough memory in your system. Running multiple simulations can be useful, e.g. when comparing the behaviour of two different machines, or if you want one input and one output window.

9.2 Starting multiple copies of !Enigma |

Eacht time you double click !Enigma in a filer window, a fresh copy will be started. Each will one will initially start with the machine that was configured to be the default. E.g. if !Enigma is started three times, the iconbar would look something like this: |  |

Initially a window will be opened for each copy started. Each new window will be opened at an offset position from the previous one, so that you can easily identify them. Each of these windows will contain its own menu, which will allow you to select a different simulation for each of them. After selecting the required simulations, the iconbar will look something like this: |  |

9.3 Loading user files |

From version 1.30 onwards, user settings can be saved in Enigma's own file format. To reload user settings, you may double click an Enigma file. However, if you are running multiple simulations, the file that is double clicked, will always be loaded in the application that was the first one to be started. |  |

If you want user settings to be applied to a specific simulation, drop the Enigma file either on the required icon in the iconbar, or directory in the required simulation window. The main Enigma window will change immediately to reflect the new settings. Alternatively, if you want to load only the initial settings and retain the current simulation, drop the Enigma file either in the Settings window or the Steckebrett window.
