There was a thread a little while back in which Jesper Sorenson asked:
I have recently switched to a Mac laptop using OS-X. One thing I
seem unable to do, which I can do in Windows, is run multiple
instances of Stata at the same time. I'm quite addicted to such
behavior since I can have different data sets open at the same time.
Any solutions?
...and James Jetton answered:
Open terminal and type:
./'/Applications/Stata/Stata.bin' &
This will open a new instance of Stata (note that there is a space
before the &).
There is probably an easier way, but this works...
...but I'd have imagined that the clever folks at Stata would have
included some GUI way to do this. Is this the only way to run multiple
instances in OSX? As far as I can tell, the issue isn't discussed in
the documentation.
Thanks,
Richard
