[Opensim-users] Megaregions and normal regions together

[M.E. Verhagen]

you don't need to make copies of the entire opensim dirs to run different
instances.

I make a copy of opensim.ini with a different name and give it the location
of the region xml files to use in that file.
And fire up an instance of opensim like this:

screen -S Zee -d -m mono ./OpenSim.exe -inifile=OpenSimZee.ini

wich is a 3x3 megaregion wich runs nice along other opensim instances wich
are not megaregions.

> -opensim2_0.7.4

> -opensim4_0.7.4
> -opensim5_0.7.4
