What you could do is create two separate directories to run them in
(but see below for a preferable solution). Otherwise they will read
the same saved.state and run duplicate calculations. Stop the two
copies, make two directories but with the existing saved.state file in
one of them and no saved.state in the other. Then start up two
copies, one in each directory.

Another solution is to run the Windows port by Brian Gladman
and Jeff Gilchrist. It is in:
http://cristal.inria.fr/~harley/ecdl7/ports/Gladman/
It automatically uses multiple processors. Note: it has some "issue"
with proxies in http mode, but they are working on it!
Bye,
