[Orca-users] Re: Customizing Orca Web Page

[Liston Bias]

As Sean indicates, you could alter the config files (orcallator.cfg) so
you have a separate one for each group of data.  As indicated, you would
have to keep track of delts if you upgrade cfg.

An example of doing these changes to orcallator.cfg:

1) Put your orcallator data into separate directories and define:

    find_files

2) Alter the following dirs as desired also.

    html_dir
    base_dir

3) Then, just start your orca process separately.
