[TenTec] New TenTec Software and N4PY Issue

[Duane Grotophorst]

Forgot to mention, - it is not an issue of ini file
"contamination" or some other kind of file
"versionitis". I run the all the N4PY sessions in
their own directories (and also sepparate memory
spaces). I put the new TT 2.0 install into its own
sepparate and brand new directory as well, it is using
the default pegasus.ini file that the install program
would have put there.
