Re: [pro] How to interact with a running lisp instance?

Right now I usually have (under screen) one instance of Emacs for personal projects (for which I try to use the latest Slime and Swank) and one for work (where they do not get updated so frequently), and sometimes I need to start a third instance if I am doing work on an older maintenance branch of the software. It seems like there should be a way to switch between Slime versions within the same running Emacs, but I have yet to figure it out.

Not a direct question to Eli, but why is Slime so version specific anyway?
