Probably.  Use the option in winboard that lets you specify a different
starting directory for each version.  Then you install the executable and
book files in the two directories and avoid the problems with both trying
to update a learn file at the same time and corrupting it.

IE if position.bin gets corrupted, it will hang crafty when it tries to use
it.
