   You can do all of that with only one copy of the executable, and no
   need to edit it with Norton's.   The way that I do it is open
   Bluewave by including the config file as a parameter, i.e.
   BWAVE.EXE bw_arc.cfg  for the copy I run on my archive files and
   BWAVE.EXE bw.cfg for the normal run.
   Each config file is set up to point to different working directories
   etc. so that the two copies do not step on each other's toes if
   running at the same time.
