For Agent you don't even need two installations, you can use one installation
and different folders for each site. Here's how I did it:
Under your agent directory create two directories (mine are RTL and Lugnet).
Then create two shortcuts to the Agent program (either on your desktop or
taskbar, wherever). In one of them set the "Start in" directory to the Lugnet
directory and in the other point to the RTL directory. Then rename each
shortcut to indicate which group it points to. If you have other newsgroups
sites just repeat the process for each one. I much prefer using Agent to the
web browser for news.
